What is MTS/M2TS?

Before talk about MTS/M2TS, AVCHD have to be mentioned at first. AVCHD is a tapeless HD format developed by

Sony and Panasonic in May, 2006. AVCHD video is compressed in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, and it supports

720p, 1080i, 1080p, etc. At the same time, AVCHD audio is stored in compressed form Dolby AC-3. Well, what is the

relationship between AVCHD and MTS/M2TS? If you are attentive enough, you will find AVCHD is with file extension

.mts on camcorder and with .m2ts after import to computer.

Trace back to iMovie'08, Apple has announced that this bundled video editing software works with many tapeless

camcorders that record to HDD, flash memory, or DVD media, including camcorders using MPEG-2 (standard

definition) and AVCHD (high definition) formats. With the release of iMovie'09, it expands supported camcorder

formats from MPEG-2 (standard definition), AVCHD (high definition) to MPEG-4 and H.264 formats. However, it does

not mean that iMovie will be an all-pass application to any sort of camcorders and cameras. Due to the wide range

http://www.wikipedia.org/

of media types and the different ways manufacturers store videos on these media types, Apple has reminded users

that not all tapeless camcorders are compatible with iMovie'08 and iMovie'09. AVCHD camcorders which capture

footages in the format of .mts/m2ts are among this range to some extent.

To make it possible for Mac users to edit MTS/M2TS files shot by AVCHD cameras in iMovie, this guide will provide

a solution to the problem of how to convert MTS/M2TS files to QuickTime on Mac for editing in iMovie.

What you will need is Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac

resolution, video/audio bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel on the following window.

By the way, if you’d like to combine all the added files to be as a single file, you can tick the checkbox "Merge into

one file" to realize it. Also, if you do not want to use the default save path, you can click "Browse" button to look for

and specify a destination folder.

Juniper this week said it is acquiring partner Ankeena Networks, a privately held maker of software for optimizing media content delivery, for no more than $100 million.

Ankeena's software is designed to deliver online media content at scale and provide television-like viewing quality. Juniper will integrate Ankeena into its Junos Ready Software business group and offer the technology to service providers looking to address demand for video and rich media content on fixed and mobile networks.

Tech M&A deals of 2010

Ankeena's Media Flow Director product was used by Juniper to optimize mobile and fixed networks for efficient video and media delivery to smartphones and other mobile devices. Media Flow Director is intended to ensure that users receive an undisrupted viewing experience regardless of the viewing device and network conditions.

The product supports different adaptive streaming technologies that dynamically detect the available bandwidth and varying the delivery bit-rate. This allows viewers to watch videos without any buffering or "stuttering," Juniper says.

Ankeena's products also feature a caching technology designed to reduce the number of servers needed to deliver media, resulting in reduced transit network and media delivery costs, the company says.

Ankeena was founded in 2008 as Nokeena Networks and is headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif. The company was funded by Clearstone Ventures, Trinity Ventures and Mayfield Fund.
