Now HDV becomes more and more popular. Sony/Canon/Panasonic, the leaders of the field of Digital image and video, are releasing so many 1080p/1080i High Definition AVCHD camcorders. Although the video format of most camcordes is widely known as AVCHD videos (MTS/M2TS file extension) with better quality videos but less space, owing to the high compress rate of this format, it is difficult for some common video editing programs or portable players to recognize and support them to edit and play.

So what to do if you capture a number of videos while traveling and want to play MTS contents in Windows Media Player, transfer MTS videos to iPad, iPhone, iPod, PSP, Android phones for playback, or watch MTS shootings on HDTV freely with your family members & friends? To achieve these goals smoothly, a best way is to transcode .mts to H.264 or MPEG-4 encoded MP4 format. Below is the quick MTS to MP4 conversion process.

First of all, Free download Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter. (If you're using a Mac, just get the equivalent Mac version - MTS Converter Mac)

Overall, the program not only can help you to transcode MTS to MP4 with high quality(even 1080p), but also can help you do some premiere editing before conversion, such as merging MTS files together, triming out unwanted frames, removing the interlaced lines, replacing audio with your favorite music, and customizing file size and video quality for your portable players.
