    .MTS and .M2TS are the AVCHD format Sony, Panasonic and Canon consumer camcorders have recorded to since roughly 2006 - a broadcast-style transport-stream container around a picture that is almost always already H.264, with AC3 or PCM audio. Despite the modern codec, hardly any device outside camcorder software or certain Blu-ray players recognises the container itself - most editors, smartphones and web uploads expect MP4.

    Because AVCHD footage is almost always already H.264, this conversion is a purely lossless, instant repackage (no picture is recomputed) in the overwhelming majority of cases - including a possible second audio track (e.g. stereo plus 5.1) that some AVCHD cameras record. Only for a rare, unusual camera encoding does the tool automatically re-encode instead of producing a broken file.

    Camcorder footage is often private family video - everything therefore runs locally in the browser, with the footage never uploaded.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your MTS or M2TS file.
    2. The tool usually just repackages the video losslessly.
    3. Download the MP4 file.

    Limitations: In the overwhelming majority of cases (H.264 picture, as with practically every AVCHD camcorder) this is a lossless repackage with no quality loss, including every audio track. Only for a very rare, unusual camera codec does the tool automatically re-encode. One file per run, ~1 GB limit (4 GB/tab in the browser).

    FAQ

    Is my footage uploaded?

    No, the entire conversion happens locally in your browser.

    What is the difference between MTS and M2TS?

    Practically none for this tool - both are the same AVCHD format with a different file extension depending on the camera manufacturer.

    Why does my camcorder file not play on my phone?

    The MTS/M2TS container is barely recognised outside camcorder software and some Blu-ray players, even though the video codec inside is often already H.264 - MP4 fixes that.

    Does my footage lose quality?

    In the usual case, no - a pure lossless repackage, byte-identical picture.

    Are two audio tracks (stereo + surround) preserved?

    Yes, during the lossless repackage every audio track is copied along.
