If you have one of those Sony, Panasonic or Canon’s HD camcorders that uses MTS files, then you must have faced the incompatibility issues. MTS files are used in HD digital camcorders for HD video capturing and playback but it is incompatible with Mac and Apple devices. Therefore, to work with MTS files, you have to use alternate ways.

MTS is a HD (High Definition) MPEG transport stream video format. It is a form of AVCHD. AVCHD is a HD video format. AVCHD is the acronym for Advanced Video Coding High Definition. It was developed by Sony and Panasonic. They jointly developed this video format in the year 2006. They developed this video format as a HD recording and playback format. Sony, Panasonic and Canon use this format for HD video capturing on their digital HD camcorders. It supports 720p and 1080i HD video formats.

After the whole shooting of your video, if you find that no application is supporting this format, it is really frustrating. But there are ways through which you can make it work.

1.Using a media player: If you wish only to play your MTS files on Mac, then you can use VLC media player. This is a freeware media player. It is also open source software which is developed by Project VideoLan. This media player supports a lot of video format. You can use this player to play all the formats that are unsupported by Mac. It also has versions for different OS (Operating System) like Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, and Android etc.

2.Using a video converter: A video converter takes a video format as an input. Then it converts that video format into a user specified supported video format. Thus you can switch from one video format to another video format. So, converting MTS files to a more suitable format is perhaps the best way to deal with this situation. However, there are concerns involved.

Not all the video converters can convert all video formats. Some video formats can format between very limited numbers of video formats. MTS might not be one of the supported video formats. As MTS are HD formats, you would want to keep the video quality as it is. Therefore you need a converter that can retain the video quality and keep the conversion clean without producing corrupted files.

Another concern is which format you want to switch into? Mac supports three QuickTime formats. They are MOV, MP4 and M4V. Converting MTS to MOV can help you solve all the problems. You can then play it using QuickTime media player, iTunes. You can edit then with iMovie, Final Cut Pro etc. you can import your videos into iPhone or iPod or iPad etc. All you have to do is to use the right video converter.

Video Converter for Mac by iSkysoft is the best converter around. It features an easy to use user interface so that all can use this converter. It supports a long range of video formats including SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) video formats.

A video converter provides a lot of flexibility and control over your videos. With it you can easily make any video format compatible for any device, OS or applications.
