How
to convert M2TS to MKV, AVI, MPEG, MP4, MOV, etc?
People nowadays like using AVCHD camcorders
to record all the precious moments in their lives, like
children’s childhood, birthday and wedding party,graduation
ceremony, all sorts of festivals, etc, so as to keep memory
of these special times. However, since MTS/M2TS clips
from AVCHD camcorders can’t be played by popular players
like QuickTime and many other portable devices like iPhone,
iPod, BlackBerry, etc, or supported well by some old version
video editors, like iMovie, or directly uploaded to video
sharing websites, etc. people have to use third party
software to convert MTS and M2TS files to other available
media formats. In purpose of solving this problem, this
post will instruct you how to convert MTS/M2TS files to
other popular video formats like AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, FLV,
etc. on Mac OS(Snow Leopard is included) step by step.
What is M2TS?
A M2TS file is a Sony high definition
video file type. M2TS files are raw AVCHD videos recorded
using Sony's camcorders, such as the HDR-SR1 and HDR-SR5
models. Panasonic, Canon and other brands of AVCHD camcorders
also record in M2TS format.
Currently, M2TS files can
be played using the Picture Motion Browser, which is an
application video player provided with Sony AVCHD camcorders.
M2TS files can also be played with Mplayer, Windows Media
Player and other media players if there is a codec for
DVD playing installed. But the file type .M2TS is not
always automatically associated with the player, so it
may be necessary to open it from the player. That's to
say, it's not convenient to play and enjoy your M2TS video.
How to get
AVC HD M2TS files off HD Video camera/camcorder?
With AVC HD camcorders, you typically need to connect
the HD video camera to your PC using a USB cable. Once
connected and powered on, the camcorder should appear
on the desktop as a new disk. The location of the films
on the camcorders disk will vary depending on manufacturer.
It is desirable that you copy the movies to your PC's
hard-drive before converting or editing it.
How to Play
AVCHD M2TS Files?
Each of the AVCHD camcorders ships with software designed
to playback the files on your computer. Sony's HDR-SR1
and the newer HDR-SR5 both record video in the AVCHD format
and ship with the Picture Motion Browser, which plays
back AVCHD files on most computers. If you purchased one
of the Panasonic AVCHD camcorders, the included HD Writer
should allow you to playback video recorded with your
camcorder.
