About formats

M2TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) is a container format used primarily for multiplexing audio, video, and other data on Blu-ray Disc media. The format is specified as part of the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) standard developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, with commercial Blu-ray products launching in 2006. M2TS files wrap content in MPEG-2 transport stream packets with an additional 4-byte timestamp header prepended to each 188-byte packet, resulting in 192-byte packets that enable more precise timing and error recovery during optical disc playback. This extended packet structure helps maintain synchronization when dealing with the variable read speeds inherent to disc-based media. M2TS supports the major Blu-ray video codecs including H.264/AVC, MPEG-2, and VC-1, alongside audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM for lossless surround sound. The container is also used by AVCHD camcorders for recording high-definition footage, making it common in both consumer disc playback and video production workflows. M2TS files preserve chapter markers, subtitle streams, and interactive menu data within the transport stream. Reliable synchronization mechanisms and support for high-quality codecs make M2TS well-suited for archiving high-definition content where preserving full source quality is essential.
Initial release: 2006
SMP is the native file format of SampleVision, a sample editing application developed by Turtle Beach Systems around 1990. SampleVision was among the first PC-based visual sample editors, letting musicians view waveforms on screen and perform cut, copy, paste, and loop-point editing — capabilities previously limited to expensive dedicated hardware samplers. The SMP format stores 16-bit mono PCM audio along with sampling-specific metadata: loop start and end points, sustain loops, release loops, and MIDI root note assignments. This made SMP files directly useful for creating and exchanging patches between hardware samplers via MIDI Sample Dump Standard (SDS) transfers, which SampleVision automated through its interface. A primary advantage was bridging the PC world with professional sampling hardware from Akai, E-mu, Ensoniq, and Roland — devices that had tiny screens and minimal editing tools. The format also supported common sample rates (22050, 44100 Hz) and brief text descriptions alongside audio data. Though Turtle Beach pivoted to gaming peripherals and SampleVision was discontinued, SMP files persist in vintage sample library archives and can be converted using SoX.
