The M2P file extension denotes an MPEG-2 Program Stream, a multimedia container format standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It is primarily designed for storing multiplexed digital video and audio data on reliable storage media like DVDs and hard drives. While historically dominant in digital broadcasting and physical media, this legacy format has largely been superseded by more efficient MPEG-4 containers for modern streaming applications.
