What making many people anxious is that the videos shot by HD camcorder are in MTS format, which cannot be directly played on Mac, not to mention iPhone, iPad, AppleTV. Nowadays, it is usual to shoot some awesome video chips for a wonderful vacation, graduation ceremony, happy parties, weddings or other meaningful moments with the high definition camera. To be more specific, being a file extension for AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) video, MTS generally adopts H.264 video coding and AC-3 audio coding, and supports 1080i and 720p, with full HD standard 1920 x 1080/1440 x 1080 for resolution. In brief, MTS format is a currently booming high-definition (HD) video format mainly applied in HD camcorder such as Sony, Canon, Panasonic and JVC. Yahoo Answers Basic Knowledge of MTSīefore answering the question, let's have a basic understanding of MTS video first. Is there some program that can completely and freely convert MTS files into MP4 or MOV, etc? Thank you. I've tried all the free trials I could find (like iSquint, MPEG Streamclip, ClipWrap), they either put a giant watermark over the video or have a time limit. The camera is not recognized by iMovie, but I figured that would happen.
I'm working with a Canon Vixia HG20 HD camcorder, Mac 10.10.3, and iMovie HD 6.
