How to open M2S file?

An often recurring problem with MPEG-2 Audio Video Format is that M2S is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open M2S, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M2S file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Movavi VideoSuite Personal

The first step is to check if the computer has the Movavi VideoSuite Personal program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Movavi VideoSuite Personal in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file M2S with Movavi VideoSuite Personal. Below you will find a list of applications that support M2S files.

Step 2. Create association of Movavi VideoSuite Personal with M2S files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the M2S file still does not use the Movavi VideoSuite Personal program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the M2S file with the Movavi VideoSuite Personal application.

Step 3. Update Movavi VideoSuite Personal to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Movavi VideoSuite Personal program, it is possible that MPEG-2 Audio Video Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Movavi page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M2S file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to M2S files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the M2S file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected M2S file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the M2S file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M2S file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted M2S files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move M2S to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the M2S file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
