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 MP4 videos, you need a Mac HD video converter tool like iFunia HD Video Converter for Mac to convert MTS to MP4 video. This program can easily convert MTS HD video to MP4 videos!
MPEG-4 is a multimedia container format which is most commonly used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those defined by MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, MPEG-4 allows streaming over the Internet. A separate hint track is used to include streaming information in the file. The official filename extension for MPEG-4 files is .mp4, thus the container format is often referred to simply as MP4.
