Premier Elements 9 does not load .m2ts files

I am using Premier Elements 9 on Windows 10 - and getting the following error while loading a .m2ts file:

This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.

So I attempted to download Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater, but received the following message:

There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.

Could anyone offer advice please?

Premiere Elements 9 doesn't support .m2ts.

It was not supported in Premiere Elements until version 10.

Convert the files to mp4.

According to the manual it does support m2ts, mts and m2t.

Make sure Quicktime is installed.
