Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MTS file?▼
MTS is the file extension used inside the AVCHD format by HD camcorders from Sony and Panasonic. It holds high-quality H.264 video and audio.
Why convert MTS to MP4?▼
MTS barely opens outside of AVCHD-aware tools. Converting to MP4 takes the same video and wraps it in a container every player and editor supports.
MTS vs M2TS — what is the difference?▼
Almost none — both are Blu-ray/AVCHD transport streams. The container is the same; the extension depends on the disc or folder structure.
Does converting MTS lose quality?▼
With remuxing (keeping the same codec) there is no quality loss. Re-encoding to a smaller MP4 reduces size with typically invisible loss at high bitrates.
Are my camcorder recordings private when converting?▼
Yes. Conversion runs locally in your browser — footage never leaves your device.
