3 Ways to Open BDM Files. Although many computer files are binary in nature and must be opened by specific software, there are more than one way to open files with the BDM extension. Here's your cheat sheet to opening BDM and other file extensions quickly and easily. How to open BDM files. If you cannot open the BDM file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports BDM among those that are installed on your device. A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message: Windows can't open this file: example.bdx To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it.
'What is BDAV?'
'What is an M2TS file and How to Open it?'
'What file format does Blu-ray use?'
These questions are commonly asked by users who would like to record video to media, play the Blu-ray file or edit the Blu-ray file. Blu-ray folder – BDMV, BDAV, recording format – AVCHD, AVCREC, Blu-ray media container – M2TS, MTS, these conceptions have close contact, which is suit for compare in one article. You might obtain a brief understanding of Blu-ray files after reading.

Two Kinds of Blu-ray File
Blu-ray file can simply be divided into two types.
• The first one is a professional that released by film distributors. After loading the Blu-ray movie disc that you have purchased into your computer and open the Blu-ray drive symbol, you can see its file structure. The BDMV folder resides in a root directory. STREAM directory contains MPEG-2 transport stream files (M2TS files).
• The other is consumer-oriented. They come from the high-definition digital video cameras. So for example, on a DVD-based camcorder, the BDMV directory is placed at the root level:
BDMV
– STREAM
– .MTS
On the HDD-based Canon HG10 camcorder, the BDMV directory is located in the AVCHD directory (placed at the root level). Solid-state Panasonic and Canon camcorders nest the AVCHD directory inside the PRIVATE directory:
PRIVATE
– AVCHD
Open Bdm File Windows 7
– BDMV
– STREAM
– .MTS
The video that recorded by Japanese-only AVCREC recorder such as Panasonic DMR-BS850, the file structure would be like this:
BDAV
– STREAM
– .MTS
AVCHD vs AVCREC
AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) and AVCREC are both formats for recording and playback of high definition video. They have a set of standards.
| AVCHD | AVCREC | |
|---|---|---|
| Recording | DVD media, Secure Digital memory cards, Memory Stick cards, and hard disk drives | Primarily uses DVD media, though BD-R/BD-RE media and hard disk drives are used in some devices as well |
| Directory | BDMV | BDAV |
| Capacity | Mini DVD: 1.4GB, 5.2GB DVD media: 4.7GB, 8.5GB | DVD media: 4.7GB, 8.5GB Blu-ray media: 25GB, 50GB, 100/200/300GB |
| Container | MTS/M2TS | MTS/M2TS |
| Video Codec | H.264/MPEG-4 AVC | H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC |
| Audio Codec | AC3 | AAC, AC3, Linear PCM |
| Region | Worldwide | Japanese-only |
For now, BDAV is a Japanese-only thing. One can record UHD TV broadcast to Blu-ray media. The resulting disc is UHD BDAV with AACS 2 protection. This shows that homemade Blu-ray files are not necessarily copyright-free. The normal media player on the computer cannot play the BDMV/BDAV disc with AACS protection because they lack the package to decrypt it. To play these kinds of Blu-ray files on PC, you will need some other Blu-ray player software. We will talk about it later.

Blu-ray Disc vs AVCHD Disc
Both Blu-ray disc and AVCHD disc can only be played in a Blu-ray player (not DVD player) because AVCHD disc using the recording structure of a Blu-ray disc. In most cases, private home videos won't last hours, AVCHD discs are the better choice. It gives you Full High Definition quality on a standard DVD disc.
| Blu-ray Disc | AVCHD Disc | |
|---|---|---|
| Media | Blu-ray media | DVD media |
| Capacity | Normal Blu-ray movie disc: 25GB, 50GB 4K Blu-ray movie disc: 50GB, 66GB, 100GB Recordable Blu-ray disc: up to 300GB | Mini DVD: 1.4GB, 5.2GB DVD media: 4.7GB, 8.5GB |
| Directory | BDMV | BDMV |

| Audio Codec | AC3, DTS, Linear PCM | AC3 |
Are .MTS and .m2ts Files the Exact Same Thing?
There is no functional difference between MTS and M2TS files. An M2TS file extension can be renamed to an MTS file extension and vice versa. We use a Sony camcorder as an example. An AVCHD video is normally copied from a camera to a computer using the drag-and-drop method has an MTS file extension. Whereas, AVCHD video imported with PlayMemories Home™ or other software is typically assigned the M2TS file extension.
Then why are there two ways of expressing it? I referred to Wiki and found a reasonable explanation, 'At the file system level, the structure of AVCHD is derived from the Blu-ray Disc specification, but is not identical to it. In particular, it uses legacy '8.3' file naming convention, while Blu-ray Discs utilize long filenames (this may be caused by the fact that FAT implementations utilizing long file names are patented by Microsoft and are licensed on a per unit sold basis)'.
One Player to Play BDMV, BDAV, AVCHD, AVCREC, MTS, M2TS on PC
If the Blu-ray files that you want to play have protection such as AACS (Advanced Access Content System), you will need a professional Blu-ray media player to bypass it. BlurayVid Blu-ray Player now supports the disc or folder of UHD BDAV, AVCHD, BDMV, and M2TS/MTS files. * From 2008, it receives certification for both AVCREC and AVCHD playback support.
This Blu-ray player software can not only play the BDMV and BDAV folder coming from camcorder but also play commercial 4K UHD Blu-ray disc/folder/ISO, DVD, CD, and almost all the media files. This is the most powerful player that combines a Blu-ray player and media player.
Step 1. Launch the program and find your Blu-ray file under 'My Computer' tab.
Step 2. Start to play the Blu-ray file on your computer. It is very easy to change titles, change scenes, add external subtitles, change audio tracks and so on.
Download the Blu-ray player and start to enjoy a 30-day free trial.

USBDM-1-JS16 features:
Win 8.1 Installation instructions: ( For reference only, software version may be upgraded by the author from time to time) PGO has provided complete documentation on each of his USBDMs. http://usbdm.sourceforge.net/ Our USBDM-1 is pre-programmed with PGO's firmware version 4.10 for the HCS12. The installation is done total automatically. You don't even have to connect the USBDM. The installation steps are as follows ( Do not plug in the USBDM-1 until the step 3 ):
To verify the installation of the USBDM without CodeWarrior:
Operating instructions:
Programming application 1: Replacing D-Bug12 monitor with serial monitor using HCS12_FlashProgrammer: PGO has provided a cool utility program to turn our USBDM-1 into a standalone programmer without invoking the CodeWarrior. 1. Download and unzip the serial monitor 2. Connect your USBDM-1 to a PC USB port ( not a USB hub ) via the USB cable and connect it to the Dragon12 via the 6-pin ribbon cable as shown on the following pictures. ( Please note that it's connected to the header labeled with 'BDM IN' ). The power LED on the Dragon12 should be lit. If the Dragon12 board keeps resetting itself ( the speaker keeps beeping and the 8 port B LEDs below the 7-segment LEDs keep cycling through ), you need to use the AC adapter that came with the package for the Dragon12 and remove the jumper from the J2 on the USBDM, so the Dragon12 will provide power to the USBDM. The reason that the Dragon12 board keeps resetting itself is that the supply voltage provided by the USBDM dropped too much. It mainly is caused by the resettable fuse on the USBDM. You also need to make sure that the USBDM is connected to a USB port ( rated at 500mA ), not a USB hub ( rated at 100mA ) and your USB cable length is 6 feet maximum, no USB extension cord is allowed) On our newly manufactured USBDMs the trip current of the resettable fuse is rated higher so this problem should not occur any more. 3. Run the HCS12_FlashProgrammer.exe from the folder C:Program FilespgoUSBDM 4.8.0, Notice that the USBDM is detected above. The versions of the USBDM firmware and DLL are also shown. They should be the same. The picture shows version 4.8, but the latest version is V4.9. If the firmware version is 4.x, you can run PGO's bootloader.exe to upgrade it, but if the firmware version is 3.x, then you need to upgrade it in a special bootloader mode ( by shorting two pads in solder side) and run Freescale's bootloader GUI software, or you can use another BDM, such as USBDM or P & E multilink USB BDM, to upgrade it 4. Switch to the Target tab, click the 'Detect Chip', notice that the HCS12 MCU is detected, make sure to change it to the MC9S12DG256. Then click the 'Load Hex Files', and browse to the s19 file 'sm_and_test_dr12p_rgb_8mhz.s19' and click 'Open' Notice that the serial monitor s19 file is loaded above. 5. In order to program the flash memory you need to mass-erase it first. There is an option for the mass-erase in the DLL version V4.9. 6. Finally select the 'Program Flash', after a short delay you will see: 7. It's done. Place the left DIP switch of the SW7 in the 'UP' position, press the reset button on the Dragon12, the test program should run. 8. Disconnect the Dragon12 from the USBDM-1 and place the left DIP switch of the SW7 back in the LOW' position. Your Dragon12 will be ready to talk to CodeWarrior. Warning: We added LCD display routines in D-Bug12 monitor firmware, so the LCD will display a message after power up, but the same message will not appear with the serial monitor firmware and you will only see 16 squares on the LCD. The serial monitor does not have enough memory space for LCD routines. The LCD routines can only be included in our test program or any user programs. Programming application 2: Replacing serial monitor with D-Bug12 monitor using HCS12_FlashProgrammer: D-Bug12 monitor firmware actually consists of two components: Bootloader and D-Bug12 monitor. The D-Bug12 monitor is provided by Freescale in an s29 file. It cannot be programmed by USBDM, but can be programmed by bootloader. So this programming application must be accomplished in two steps. At first, you need to use a USBDM to replace the serial monitor with the bootloader, then use the bootloader to install the D-Bug12 monitor. 1. Download and unzip the Bootloader and the D-Bug12 monitor. (these files are for the Dragon12P-USB board rev. G and rev. H) 2. Connect your USBDM-1 to a PC USB port ( not a USB hub ) via the USB cable and connect it to the Dragon12 via the 6-pin ribbon cable as shown on the following pictures. ( Please note that it's connected to the header labeled with 'BDM IN' ). The power LED on the Dragon12 should be lit. 3. Following the instructions in the Programming Application 1 to program the bootloader. All instructions apply to this application, only when you click the 'Load Hex Files', then browse to the s19 file 'Boot_DR12P_8MHz.s19' and click 'Open' 4. When programming is successful disconnect the Dragon12 from the USBDM-1 and place both the DIP switches of the SW7 in the 'UP' positions. Your Dragon12 will be ready to be programmed with D-Bug12 monitor in bootloader mode. 5. Disconnect the USBDM from the USB cable and put the USBDM aside. You don't need it anymore. 6. Connect the USB cable to the USB jack on the Dargon12 board. Make sure that the other end of the USB cable is still connected to a PC USB port. 7. Before programming D-Bug12 monitor into flash memory you should know what the bootloader is for. The bootloader allows you to erase/program flash memory and erase EEPROM. It is mainly used to program the D-Bug12 monitor into flash memory or program user's fully debugged code into the D-Bug12 portion of flash memory. The latter allows the Dragon12 board to auto start your code in EVB mode every time the board is turned on or reset. When you program your code into the D-Bug12 portion of flash memory, it wipes out the D-Bug12 monitor. You can restore it any time, just as if you were downloading another application program since the bootloader is not erased. You can erase and program the D-Bug12 monitor portion of the flash memory of the MC9S12DG256 in bootloader mode, but you cannot erase and program bootloader by itself. The bootloader can only be erased by an external BDM via BDM-in port. See details of 4 operating modes on page 15 of the user's manual. 8. If both the DIP switches of the SW7 in the 'UP' positions, press the reset button on the Dragon12 board, the LCD should display the following message: 'DRAGON12plus EVB' 9. Invoke AsmIDE, you should see the bootloader menu in the AsmIDE terminal window: MC9S12DG256 bootloader menu:
10. Place both the DIP switches of the SW7 in the 'LOW' positions. Press the reset button on the Dragon12 board, the LCD should display the following message: 'DRAGON12plus EVB' Tech support: Dirt devil power max reset button.
