How to Convert MTS to MPEG
MTS is the file extension for the Advanced Video Codec High Definition, or AVCHD, video file type. Sony and Panasonic use this codec and the .mts file extension for the footage captured on their high definition camcorders. MTS files are not compatible with many video programs and editing softwares. If you would like to use an MTS file in a program that does not have the ability to read the file, you will first need to run it through a software that can read it and convert it to a standard video file type, such as MPEG.
