Understanding h263 and mts file formats

H263 is a video compression format primarily used for low-bitrate video conferencing and streaming. It was developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and is commonly found in older video conferencing systems and some mobile video applications.

MTS is a video file format used for high-definition video on AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) camcorders. It is based on the MPEG-2 transport stream container and supports high-quality video and audio streams, making it popular for consumer and professional video recording.

Why convert h263 to mts?
