- Convert it to .WMV in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WMV file.
What to expect
- MTS-to-WMV always re-encodes the H.264 video as VC-1, causing some quality loss - keep your original
.mtsfiles. - AVCHD camcorders often record 1080i (interlaced); if motion looks blurry, enable deinterlacing in VLC (Video > Deinterlace > On) or add
-vf yadifin FFmpeg. - WMV does not play on iOS, Android, or most smart TVs without extra apps - if WMV is not strictly required, MP4 gives wider compatibility.
Frequently asked questions
Is MTS to WMV conversion free?
Yes - the converter above, VLC, and FFmpeg are all free and convert without watermarks or time limits.
Will quality drop when converting MTS to WMV?
Yes, some quality loss is unavoidable because the H.264 video is decoded and re-encoded as VC-1/WMV. Set a higher bitrate (4000k or above for 1080p) to minimise the difference.
My WMV has no audio after converting with VLC - what went wrong?
Check that the conversion profile includes a WMA audio codec; if you customised the profile, re-enable the audio track in the profile editor.
My camcorder split the recording into multiple MTS files - do I need to merge them first?
You can convert each clip separately and join them later, or use FFmpeg's concat demuxer to merge and convert in a single pass.
