The .m2ts plays fine in MediaPortal, MPC-HC , no problems.
I've tried for a while now to use Handbrake to turn it into an MKV and it would keep dying at around 90% completion. I tried with 0.9.3, then with several of the snapshot releases, and now with the official 0.9.4
I think I've finally figured out the reason it keeps stopping, but I don't know why it's doing it. I just noticed that when Handbrake scans the file, it comes up with a running time of 2 hours 12 minutes. When I play it with MPC, it says 2 hours 20 minutes. Open it in Mediainfo, and it concurs. 2 hours 20 minutes. So why is Handbrake seeing it as 8 minutes shorter than it really is?
I've used the same process for many of my other Blu-ray and HD-DVD titles and so far this is the only one I haven't had success with.
