Files with the .MTA extension store data for navigating multimedia files in text format. Samsung AllShare platform uses MTA files to support sharing files online between devices. AllShare generates MTA files automatically and places them in shared catalogs as markers. AllShare copies the name of the original multimedia file and adds the .MTA extension when naming MTA files. For a file called movie.mkv, movie.mkv.mta will be created in the same folder.

Samsung AllShare allows users to share data between devices like TVs, PCs, phones and tablets that support the DLNA standard. MTA files can be opened with a text editor as they store data in text format. The naming convention is file.avi.mta, where file.avi is the source multimedia file. Both files are saved in the same folder.

MTA files are also metadata files used by Samsung Theme Designer to store theme information. The software generates them when creating a new theme. To open these MTA files, Samsung Theme Designer is required, available from the Samsung Developer website. MTA files are also used as configuration files for Microsoft Exchange Server’s Message Tracking Agent.
