Convert WLMP to MTS

Understanding WLMP and MTS file formats

WLMP stands for Windows Live Movie Maker Project. It is a project file created by Windows Live Movie Maker, containing references to video clips, audio, effects, and transitions, but not the actual video data. WLMP files are not video files themselves and cannot be played directly in media players.

MTS is a video file format used for high-definition video on AVCHD camcorders. It contains actual video and audio data, making it suitable for playback and editing in various video software.

How to convert WLMP to MTS

Since WLMP is a project file, you must first export your project as a video file (such as MP4 or WMV) using Windows Live Movie Maker. After exporting, you can convert the resulting video file to the MTS format using a video converter.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open your WLMP file in Windows Live Movie Maker.
2. Go to File → Save movie and choose a suitable video format (e.g., WMV or MP4).
3. Once exported, use a video converter such as HandBrake or Any Video Converter to convert the WMV/MP4 file to MTS format.
4. In the converter, add your exported video, select MTS as the output format, and start the conversion.

Recommended software for conversion

• Windows Live Movie Maker – to export WLMP projects to video files.
• Any Video Converter – supports a wide range of formats, including MTS, and is user-friendly.
• HandBrake – a free, open-source video transcoder (note: may require additional codecs for MTS output).

Summary

Direct conversion from WLMP to MTS is not possible since WLMP is not a video file. First, export your project as a video file using Windows Live Movie Maker, then use a video converter to change the exported file to the MTS format.
