MTS Converter

MTS is a high-definition video format based on the AVCHD standard, used by Sony, Panasonic, and Canon camcorders to record footage. It stores H.264/AVC video with Dolby AC-3 or LPCM audio, delivering Full HD quality while keeping files reasonably compact for consumer devices.

To convert MTS to MP4, you can use a free MTS converter such as the Movavi converter. Just add your MTS file, choose MP4 as the output format, and click Convert. You can also use this online app as an video-to-MTS converter and convert to the MTS format.

Many media players and devices lack native AVCHD support, so MTS files may not open or may play without sound. Converting them to a widely supported format like MP4 or MOV solves the problem and makes the video playable on phones, tablets, and standard players.

Both formats come from the AVCHD standard and share the same video and audio streams. MTS is the file recorded directly on the camcorder, while M2TS is the same content once it is copied or imported to a computer or Blu-ray disc. Quality is identical.

Yes. When the target format uses the same codec, an MTS converter rewraps the video stream instead of re-encoding it, so no quality is lost and conversion is nearly instant. For other formats, choosing a high bitrate keeps the result visually identical to the source.
