Camcorders capable of shooting video in HD formats are popping up everywhere, and prices are now affordable. However, the issue with this is, generally speaking; the majority of us lack the hard drive space to save out these huge MTS files to disk. One can fill a 60 GB HD camera fairly quickly, and fill a PC’s hard drive even quicker. For those who want to enjoy the high-definition contents on HDTV, the format MTS is very inconvenient, because most home media players do not support decoding this format. Many AVCHD camcorder users are trying to combine multiple HD footage as one file for easier playing and transporting, but to no avail. If you are involved in such kind of issues, Pavtube HD Video Converter is what you need. The powerful converting tool is able to convert AVCHD MTS files and videos of many other HD formats. You can convert MTS to HD video formats (HD MKV, AVI, MOV, TS,etc) for playing back, convert down MTS footage to SD video clips so as to save storage, join MTS files together, and trim out unwanted segments easily with this HD Converter.

Please refer to below how to down-scale and convert 1080p MTS footage to 720p MKV for enjoying on HDTV via media players.
Software you need: Pavtube HD Video Converter

Step 1. Import MTS 1080p footage to the HD Converter.
Run the MTS Video Converter, click“Add”button and browse to the MTS files you’d like to convert.

When the MTS files are loaded to the program, you can view the videos from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you may take snapshoot when it plays to your favorable frame by clicking the “Snapshoot” button.

Step 2. Set output format for MTS to MKV conversion.
The MTS Video Converter is capable of converting MTS footage to MKV, MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI and various other optimized formats for media players and portable devices. In order to enjoy the HD recordings on HDTV, you can convert MTS video to MKV. Just click on the “Format” bar and select desired MKV format from the profile list. MTS is a typical HD video format with very high video quality. Meanwhile it takes up much more space than other video formats. If you are unwilling to degrade the HD MTS video quality, “HD Video”-> “MKV HD Video” (*.mkv) is a better choice for you. To save storage, you could follow “Common Video”-> “MKV Matroska Video” (*.mkv). A best solution to balance video quality and storage occupancy is converting 1080p MTS to 720p MKV. You may choose HD MKV format (1080p) first and customize it to 720p HD MKV format.

Step 3. Further customize A/ V settings.
To customize video and audio parameters, simply click “Settings” button and enter Settings panel. Find Video Size and set it to 1280*720 instead of 1920*1080. By setting a smaller video bitrate you could reduce the output file size. Another way is to set video codec as “h.264” instead of “xvid”, since h.264 encodes video with higher compress ratio with relative high quality.

Step 4. Start converting MTS 1080p to MKV 720p.
Click “Convert” to start converting MTS to MKV format when everything’s ready. The MTS to MKV Converter supports batch conversion so you may load multiple MTS and MTS files and convert them to MKV at one time. You may also merge them to one file by checking the box “Merge into one file” before conversion starts. After conversion you may click “Open” button to find generated MKV files. After conversion you can transfer 720p MKV file to media players like Western Digital TV player and PS3 for watching on wide screen TV.

Tips:
1. Join and split MTS clips. As mentioned above, you can combine files together by checking “Merge into one file”. To split video and trim off unwanted segments, you may click “Edit” menu, switch to “Trim” tab, and set starting and ending time to include the part you want to keep only, and then leave it to the MTS to MKV converter.
2. Convert 1080p MTS file to 720p MKV with AC3 5.1 sound. Click “Settings” and set Audio Codec Name to “ac3” and Channels to “6” instead of “1” or “2”.
3. Cut down file size (shorten converting time). By setting a smaller video bitrate can you reduce the output file size. Another way is to set video codec as “h.264” instead of “xvid”, since h.264 encodes video with higher compress ratio with relative high quality.

Traditional two-channel system has been gradually fading out, and the current 5.1-channel audio processing system is relatively perfect audio and video solution. Nowadays, 5.1-channel has been widely used in various types of traditional cinema and home theater. We often hear of “Dolby Digital 5.1-channel”, but a lot of people do not know the specific meaning of it. In fact, 5.1-channel is the use of five speakers and a subwoofer to achieve a kind of immersive music player mode, which is developed by Dolby, so called “Dolby Digital 5.1-channel.” 5.1-channel system uses two channels for speakers at the front—left (L) and right (R), one channel for speaker at the center—center (C), two channels for surround speakers at the rear—surround left (LS) and surround right (RS), and one low-frequency effects channel (LFE), for 6 speakers are all around, it will gives rise to sense of reality in theater.

Discover Web Solutions is a company that specializes in web design, graphics, and programming.

Since 5.1-channel surround is so wonderful and popular, numerous movie and video resources are adopting it as audio solution. Also because of this reason, more and more people have requirements about remaining 5.1-channel surround of their original video files while converting or changing these files to other channel, like the ordinary two channels stereo. Therefore, I will focus on this point now, and say something about how to keep or change 5.1-channel effects of the source video files when you are transferring them to other object formats.

To achieve this purpose, you need a video converter which is capable of doing this. Note that although numerous video converters are emerging, not all of them are able to support 5.1-channel surround, hence, you must be careful while choosing one. Here I make a choice of Pavtube Video Converter, only because it can satisfy this demand well.

Okay, let’s return to our mutton now. Firstly, have a browse of what kind of 5.1-channel audio codec Pavtube Video Converter can decode. Usually, DVD and HD videos may contain 5.1-channel AC3, AAC, DTS, DTS-HD, True HD, and EAC3, and Pavtube can support all of these codec. Well, next, let’s go through three cases.

Case one: Keep 5.1-channel of the original files while converting.
Pavtube Video Converter can use the two codec AAC and AC3 to encode 5.1-channel. After importing video files to Pavtube, you can check the properties of your source file by clicking “Properties”, and in the following window you can find out whether your videos are 6 channels(namely 5.1-channel) or not.

Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac is a marvelous conversion software.

If you want to retain 5.1-channel when processing conversion, just choose a output format, which is using AAC or AC3 codec to encode audio, from the drop-down list of “Format”> “Common Video”, like MP4, 3GP, MOV, MKV, M4V, and here I select MP4 for example. After that, press “Settings” and you will get a “Profile” window, in this window you are allowed to set “5.1 Channels” as the output channel, also, you see, the audio codec used here is AAC.

Case two: change 5.1-channel to two-channel stereo.
Suppose you want to convert 5.1-channel of the source files to two-channel stereo as the object track, and then just follow the way upside. Unlike 5.1-channel, almost all formats listed are available to complete stereo conversion, audio codec are not strictly requested as well. As soon as you get into the “Profile” interface, just select “Stereo” as the output channel. Afterwards,Pavtube video converter will finish the rest work for you.

Of course, if the number of output channel is less than the original one, such as the above mentioned source is 5.1, should be encoded into a two-channel, at this time, Pavtube will mix the sound of 5.1-channel in a certain proportion, and generate the ordinary stereo only with channels L and R.

Case three: change two-channel stereo to 5.1-channel.
On the contrary to case two, if the number of output channel is greater than the source channel, like changing two-channel stereo to 5.1-channel, in this condition,Pavtube video converter will only fill in the channels L and R, and others will be merely stuffed with silence. So to some extent, we can say this kind of conversion is meaningless.

As this format is relatively new, many video players or video editors are lacking of native support to it, or are only just starting to add support for this file type. Therefore, AVCHD camcorder users often meet problems one or another while playing or editing .MTS files. To relieve people’s pains, this article will give a solution to importing MTS file to Sony Vegas. If you have demand for this information, please go along with it.

Powerful, versatile video file converter which convert video file between all popular video formats.

Factually, Sony Vegas mentions that it is working with MTS from Vegas Pro 8 on its official site, but some users still encounter troubles while inputting MTS files to this editor. Ok, now let’s breakthrough these setbacks one by one together.

First of all, I will focus on solving MTS problems about Sony AVCHD camcorders whose hard drive is using a FAT32 file system.

Once the footage is recorded in chunks longer than 20 minutes, the file size will exceed 2GB, since FAT file system does not support it, in this case, camcorder will automatically record the rest data to a new file.

00003.MTS (the last file size will be not more than 2GB)

When connecting your Sony camcorder to your PC, you will be directly navigated to the storage folder of your camera, and then you can copy it to the hard drive of your PC with ease. Also, Vegas may recognize the .MTS files and is willing to import them, however, Vegas is not always able to recognize these .MTS files in size of 2GB, at this time, the following problems may happen:

1. Choppy frames at the end of the 2GB footage;
2. Vegas refuses to import the 2GB video clip, and pops up a message “unrecognized file format”;
3. Vegas crashed after the file is imported .

What should we do now? Actually, you just need pay attention to one thing that is making sure Sony Picture Utility is installed on your PC. It is included with you Sony camcorder, if you’ve lost it, click here to download. As soon as installed, while your camcorder is connected to your PC, the “HDD Handycam Utility” will be automatically launched.

DVD to iPod Mac software is an excellent dvd to ipod for Mac OS software to convert DVD to iPod on Mac.

This utility joins multiple .MTS files into a single .m2ts file on the hard drive of your PC, and then you can work this file with Sony Vegas smoothly.

Secondly, I’d like to say something more about the older version of Sony Vegas. Although the robust Vegas Pro 9 has been released not long ago, and it boasts supporting AVCHD definitely, I know some users are not willing to spend much more money to upgrade their old version to the newest one. Many people are still using Vegas 7 or former version to edit their video files.

To these people, the only way to let Vegas work with MTS files is convert these files to Vegas compatible formats like WMV and MP4 previously. The converter I personally used is Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter, I usually use it to convert my MTS files for my iPhone, and its output formats is various, you can select one for your Vegas. To be honest, I’ve tried many other converters before choosing it, this one can make my audio and video go in the same way, so it finally won my appreciation. Hopefully it will also do you a favor.

As for other AVCHD camcorders, because no research has no right to speak, I can say nearly nothing about them. I’m not sure whether they have certain plug-ins or utilities like Sony’s HDD Handycam Utility, or something else to help them import MTS files to Vegas. If not, may use Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter to do previous conversion work still be an available way? Of course, if you have the latest version of Vegas or have your better way to solve this problem, just let my words go, or you can share your ideas to me as well. Thanks Prior.
