Frequently asked questions
How good is the result converting WMV to MTS?
MTS is the AVCHD MPEG-2 Transport Stream carrying H.264 video, so the WMV stream is re-encoded to H.264. This is a lossy re-encode, but at HD bitrates quality is high.
Why convert WMV to MTS?
MTS is the recording format of AVCHD camcorders from Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and JVC, so it fits camcorder-oriented editing and playback workflows. WMV, a Microsoft format, is not native to those devices.
Where will an MTS file play?
MTS opens for free in VLC on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no extra codecs. Many AVCHD-aware players and editors accept it directly.
What can be lost in the conversion?
The re-encode discards some detail versus the source, and WMV-specific metadata does not transfer. Audio is mapped into the transport stream, so the exact original audio codec may change.
