How to convert MTS to MPG
- Add your .MTS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MPG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MPG file.
What to expect
- H.264 video is re-encoded to MPEG-1/MPEG-2, which is a lossy step.
- Expect a larger file for comparable quality, since MPEG-2 is less efficient than H.264.
- MPG is a broadly compatible open standard, good for DVD-era players and authoring tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting MTS to MPG lossless?
No. MTS holds modern H.264 video, while MPG uses the older MPEG-1/MPEG-2 codecs, so the video must be re-encoded. That re-encode is lossy and, because MPEG-2 is less efficient than H.264, quality can soften unless you allow a high bitrate.
Why would I convert AVCHD MTS to MPG?
MPG is the format behind DVDs, Video CDs and older TV-recording and authoring tools, so converting suits devices or software that expect MPEG-1/MPEG-2 rather than AVCHD transport streams.
What opens an MPG file?
MPG is a widely supported open standard; the free VLC media player plays it on any operating system, and most legacy DVD and media software reads it as well.
Will the MPG file be larger than the MTS?
Often yes. MPEG-2 compresses less efficiently than the H.264 video inside MTS, so matching the original quality generally needs a higher bitrate and a larger file.
