I recently treated myself to a HD camcorder as I will be going on holiday to California soon. I got the camcorder a bit early so I could have a chance to play around with it and practice editing the clips, the camcorder records the clips in a .MTS format which is a High-definition MPEG Transport Stream video format, commonly called “AVCHD;” used by Sony, Panasonic, and other HD camcorders; based on the MPEG-2 transport stream and supports 720p and 1080i HD video formats.
If you've got some MTS videos and want to convert MTS to MPEG videos, you need a Mac HD video converter tool like iFunia HD Video Converter for Mac to convert MTS to MPEG video. This program can easily convert MTS HD video to MPEG videos!
