Convert MTS1 to MTS

Understanding mts1 and mts file formats

MTS1 files are typically proprietary or custom video files, sometimes used by specific devices or software for temporary or intermediate storage. Their structure is often similar to standard MTS files but may include unique headers or metadata. MTS files, on the other hand, are widely recognized as AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) video files, commonly used by digital camcorders for high-definition video recording. MTS files are based on the MPEG-2 transport stream container and support high-quality video and audio streams.

Why convert mts1 to mts?

Converting mts1 to mts is essential for compatibility with mainstream video players, editors, and sharing platforms. Standard MTS files are supported by a wide range of devices and software, making them more versatile for playback and editing.

How to convert mts1 to mts

The conversion process usually involves renaming the file extension or using a video converter that can recognize the mts1 format. If the mts1 file is structurally identical to an MTS file, you may simply rename the file from .mts1 to .mts. However, if the file contains unique headers or metadata, a dedicated video converter is recommended.
