The MTS format is an emerging high definition video format. Sony, JVC, and the video shot by Panasonic’s HD hard disk camera are often in this format.
It is neither easy to play in other devices nor to edit and save so it makes your PC slow down or even freeze. It will be much more convenient to convert MTS format into AVI as it features audio and video high synchronization while preserving good quality.
Here we recommend that you use VideoPower BLUE to convert the MTS format, which is a safe and free video converter. It supports format conversion like MTS to AVI, MTS to MP4 and so on.
