Convert 3GP to MTS

Understanding 3gp and mts file formats

3GP is a multimedia container format developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for 3G UMTS multimedia services. It is commonly used for storing video and audio streams on mobile devices. MTS, on the other hand, is a video file format used for high-definition video on AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) camcorders. MTS files typically contain high-quality video and audio streams and are often used in professional video recording.
