Merge several m2ts files - how it works
If you want to merge several M2TS files on your computer, this works with several programs. We present a few options.
Windows: Merge several M2TS files
If you just want to hang two M2TS files together, you can do it completely without software. Put the two files in a folder beforehand. In this example we use the folder with the path "C: \ Videos".
- Press the [Windows] and [R] keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens.
- Enter "cmd" here and confirm with "OK". Then the command prompt starts.
- Now navigate to the desired folder. In this example, the command is "cd C: \ Videos".
- If you confirm with the [Enter] key, the prompt is ready for the next command.
- This is: "copy / b file1.m2ts + file2.m2ts newfile.m2ts". Change the names "File1" and "File2" according to your m2ts files.
- If you confirm again with [Enter], the two files are merged.
Software: Merge several M2TS files
- If you want to play an M2TS file on your computer, a video player such as the VLC media player is sufficient. Assembling is a little more difficult.
- Paid video editing software such as Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro can easily open and merge M2TS files. Free programs like Windows Movie Maker reach their limits here.
- If the software you want cannot open the M2TS files, you can simply convert them to another format for editing. The free AVI Video Converter helps you here.
