How to convert AVI to MTS
- Add your .AVI file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MTS in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MTS file.
What to expect
- Video is re-encoded to H.264 inside an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, which is lossy.
- AVCHD imposes codec and resolution expectations that may force heavier re-encoding.
- The container structure is not preserved; only audio and video content carry over.
Frequently asked questions
What does converting AVI to MTS produce?
MTS is the AVCHD format, an MPEG-2 Transport Stream carrying H.264 video, so the AVI is re-encoded to that codec. The step is lossy.
Why convert an AVI to MTS?
MTS/AVCHD is the container recorded by Sony, Panasonic, Canon and JVC camcorders, so it suits matching or feeding workflows and devices built around AVCHD footage.
Where does an MTS file open?
VLC plays it on Windows, macOS and Linux with no extra codecs, and AVCHD-aware editors and players handle it. General-purpose apps often prefer a more universal format.
What should I expect from the result?
AVCHD expects specific H.264 settings and resolutions, so a source that differs may be re-encoded more heavily. The transport-stream layout differs from AVI, so only the media content transfers, not the container structure.
