My sony \u00a0HXR-MC1P helmetcam is also using the AVCHD MTS file format. AVCHD is the abbreviation for \u201c<em>Advanced Video Codec High Definition<\/em>\u201c. However the problem is to edit the MTS movie files. To avoid quality losses I didn&#8217;t want to convert\u00a0the MTS AVCHD movie files into e.g. a MPEG2 files.<\/p>\n<p>The problem I had with the MTS file was\u00a0that I could&#8217;t edit it on a MAC, Linux or even a Windows computer.\u00a0I also had the problem\u00a0to watch the recorded movie on a normal computer with a single core 2 GHz CPU. The only solution to watch the movie was a sony software player I installed on my windows computer. With this player I was able to watch the movie on my PC. On a MAC\u00a0or Linux computer I hat to convert the movie into e.g. a MP4 ( *mov) file to watch it.\u00a0But since the computers are faster I had no problems to play the mts files with the video lan player (VLC).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_406\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-406\" title=\"Sony_hxr-mc1p-Rekorder\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sony hxr-mc1p Rekorder<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The first step was the aim to get the mts files played\u00a0on my computer. Therefore I started to search\u00a0for a solution to play the MTS files on my computer. The second step was to\u00a0find an answer how to convert the MTS files to\u00a0edit the\u00a0mts file with\u00a0a minimum of quality loss on my PC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Update 10.05.2010<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>I will continue writing on this article if I have new technical expertises.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware\"><\/span>Hardware<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sony, Panasonic and Canon launched 2006 their first AVCHD-Camcorders. Also blue-ray players support this new file formate. The blue-ray players also could play self recorderd Blue-Ray-Discs (BD-R\/RE) and mini Blue-Ray movies recordered on a DVD-disc with your home movies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_editing\"><\/span>Video editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The problem with the\u00a0<em>Advanced Video Codec High Definition<\/em> format is the ongoing developtment of video editing programs. Even with a very fast 3 GHZ dual core computer with 2 GB RAM the process of encoding takes a very long rendering time. The computing time depends\u00a0on the used codec, codec option and how the rate-distortion-optimization is configured. AVC-Encoder with a good performance have approx. eight to ten times higher complexity as MPEG2-encoders. Furthermore the rendering time of AVC Encoder ist three times higher than the rendering time of\u00a0MPEG-2 encoder. The realtime limit\u00a0 (30 frames) for a dual core cpu with the use of the CABAC-codec\u00a0is about\u00a010 Mbit\/sec.\u00a0A quad core cpu is\u00a0only a little bit faster and reaches 15 Mbit\/sec. Without the CABAC both systems reache a minimum of 20 Mbit\/sec.<\/p>\n<p>The professional editing software\u00a0FinalCut Pro (Apple) converts the AVCHD\u00a0video material during the transfer from a camcorder or\u00a0a storage device to a MAC computer into the Apple ProRes 422 or Apple Intermediate\u00a0formate. This approach needs more space on the target computer device. The advantage is that it is not\u00a0necessary to\u00a0render the movie data during the editing process. This saves a lot of time and speeds up the\u00a0video cutting process.\u00a0 Ater finishing the\u00a0video project\u00a0the cutted video\u00a0can be transcoded into the target video formate. This enables you to create directly a Blue-Ray Disc which can be played on a stand alone Blue-Ray player.<\/p>\n<p>The AVCHD\u00a0format is used to store videos on Blue-Ray, DVD discs and on storage devices like a hard disk drive. The editing\u00a0of AVCHD and MPEG-2 with\u00a0a editing programm wasn&#8217;t first planned for consumers. But the need from the end users\u00a0for\u00a0high quality video formates with a small bit rate\u00a0requested a software solution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MAC\"><\/span>MAC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I run iMovie 09 and Final Cut Express 4 on my MAC Mini. Final Cut Express wasn&#8217;t able to import the MTS but iMovie 09 does. I noticed a lot of converting programms\u00a0for MTS files for about 20 to 60 US dollar. Now a short list of the programms I tested.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iMovie 09<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">With iMovie 09 it is possible to import the MTS files. The preview shows a lower quality but by exporting to MP4 as HDTV Stream the quality is very good with hardly losses. It is also possible to export the iMovie 09 project to XML and to import this project into Final Cut Express to edit it there. The MAC offers you a solution to edit MTS files without converting\u00a0them. iMovie is available on the apple homepage <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/\">www.apple.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VoltaicHD<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">I installed this programm in a demo version. The programm was possible to convert the MTS files but only\u00a010 sec. because of the demo mode. From interes\u00a0ist that VoltaicHD uses FFMPEG. This was the reason why a started to deal with FFMPEG. Here you can download VoltaicHD <a title=\"VOLTAIHD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shedworx.com\/voltaichd\" target=\"_self\">http:\/\/www.shedworx.com\/voltaichd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FFMPEGX<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">PPMPEGX is a freeware tool which converts MTS files with the help of FFMPEG. You have to pay money for the GUI which comes with FFMPEGX. My problem was that FFMPEGX always crashes during the converting process of a 6 minutes long MTS files. Here you can download\u00a0FFMPEGX <a title=\"ffmpegx\" href=\"http:\/\/ffmpegx.com\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/ffmpegx.com\/download.html<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FFMPEG<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Who has installed the developer tools on his MAC can directly install FFMPEG on his computer.\u00a0\u00a0I stopped testing FFMPEG because I had my problems with this program. But if you can deal with the command box you can convert MTS files for free. Here is the link to the howto I found: <a title=\"FFMPEG for MAC\" href=\"http:\/\/stephenjungels.com\/jungels.net\/articles\/ffmpeg-howto.html\" target=\"_self\">http:\/\/stephenjungels.com\/jungels.net\/articles\/ffmpeg-howto.html<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Final Cut Pro<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The professional editing software\u00a0FinalCut Pro (Apple) converts the AVCHD\u00a0video material during the transfer from a camcorder or\u00a0a storige device to MAC computer into the Apple ProRes 422 or Apple Intermediate\u00a0formate.

This was not the real problem. The video streame tooks 56 GB for 6 minutes MTS movie.

My sony HXR-MC1P helmetcam is also using the AVCHD MTS file format. AVCHD stands for \u201cAdvanced Video Codec High Definition\u201c. However the problem is to edit the MTS movie files. To avoid quality losses I didn't want to convert the MTS AVCHD movie files into e.g. a MPEG2 files.  The problem I had with the MTS file was that I could't edit it on a MAC, Linux or even a Windows computer. I also had the problem to watch the recorded movie on a normal computer with a single core 2 GHz CPU. The only solution to watch the movie was a sony software player I installed on my windows computer. With this player I was able to watch the movie on my PC. On a MAC oder Linux computer I hat to convert the movie into e.g. a MP4 ( *mov) file to watch it. But since the computers are faster I had no problems to play back the mts files with the video lan player (VLC).","og_url":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854","og_site_name":"BlogYourEarth","article_published_time":"2011-07-10T14:21:28+00:00","article_modified_time":"2012-02-12T20:34:26+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"BlogYourEarth","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ingmar_Stapel","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"BlogYourEarth","Est. reading time":"7 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854"},"author":{"name":"BlogYourEarth","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/20019b9448ee143568083bc6d97e7bfa"},"headline":"MTS file converter &#8211; AVCHD","datePublished":"2011-07-10T14:21:28+00:00","dateModified":"2012-02-12T20:34:26+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854"},"wordCount":1310,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg","keywords":["camera","comparison","convert","MTS movie player","Testreview","video editing","video editing software"],"articleSection":["Video","Video digitizing"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854","url":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854","name":"MTS file converter - AVCHD - BlogYourEarth","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg","datePublished":"2011-07-10T14:21:28+00:00","dateModified":"2012-02-12T20:34:26+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/20019b9448ee143568083bc6d97e7bfa"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_1658-300x225.jpg"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/video-2\/mts-file-converter-avchd\/1854#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Startseite","item":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"MTS file converter &#8211; AVCHD"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/","name":"BlogYourEarth","description":"Helmkamera","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.blogyourearth.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/20019b9448ee143568083bc6d97e7bfa","name":"BlogYourEarth","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/60e9f215fe3705edbb958cd9c092ae1c03d01b15835a400da4028883352592f0?s=96&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/60e9f215fe3705edbb958cd9c092ae1c03d01b15835a400da4028883352592f0?s=96&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/60e9f215fe3705edbb958cd9c092ae1c03d01b15835a400da4028883352592f0?s=96&r=g","caption":"BlogYourEarth"},"description":"Ich lebe in Bayern nahe M\u00fcnchen.
