How to convert MTS or M2TS to iPod, iPhone, etc. compatible formats on Mac?
I have often seen people asking questions like I have a Sony HDR-SR5,
or some
other AVCHD camcorders such as Canon HF11, JVC GZ-HD10, Panasonic
HDC-SD5, etc,
but I failed to import the video files copied from my camcorder in the
format of
.mts or .m2ts for playback on my iPod, iPhone, or some other common used
mobile
players, is there anyone can give me some suggestions? Question like
this seems
endless, for there are always people keeping asking these similar
questions
without an end. This time when I read this question, I couldn’t stop
myself
giving you people a solution.
Firstly I should tell you that most portable
devices can not read .mts or .m2ts files directly, if you want to play
them on
your mobile devices like iPod, iPhone, etc. without trouble, you have to
convert
them into their acceptable format like MP4 previously.

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.
