How to convert MTS to MP4 on Mac?


"Just bought Canon HF S10 last week. Of course I like it. But I've realized that it records files with MTS extension. Before I’ve used mostly free Handbrake for converting general video into MP4 video, because it’s free. Now the thing is somehow Handbrake doesn't recognize about 30% of my MTS files but give "No Valid Source Found". Can anyone help me reach another best way to convert .MTS files to .MP4(H.264 video) that i am able to import them to Premiere (which is not possible with MTS nor is it in final cut pro)."


MTS format is a high-definition MPEG, AVC, H.264 transport stream video format, which is widely used by HD camcorders. The AVCHD(*.MTS) format has recently become a very popular format for sharing movies because it works well with retaining the quality of high definition movies. The latest version of Handbrake can recognize .MTS files, but sometimes it is really not compatible well with them. To convert MTS to MP4 on Mac,including OS X Lion, I recommend iFunia HD Video Converter for Mac, the most easiest solution to convert MTS to MP4 format on Mac.

Select an MP4 output format for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files. MP4 file format is supported by most media player and mobile devices, like iPod/iPhone/PSP. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size. Actually video with bitrate as 768 is acceptable for watching.
