Convert TS to MTS

Understanding TS and MTS file formats

TS (Transport Stream) files are video stream files commonly used for storing video on DVDs, broadcasting, and streaming. They are based on the MPEG-2 standard and are designed for reliable transmission of video and audio data.

MTS files are also video files, typically associated with AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) camcorders. MTS files use the MPEG-2 Transport Stream container but are often encoded with H.264/AVC for high-definition video recording.
