Convert MTS to 3GPP

What is MTS file?

The MTS file extension stands for the high definition video format referred to as Advanced Video Coding High Definition or AVCHD Video. This format was developed by a joint venture between Sony and Panasonic for use in digital camcorders that record and store video on MiniDV tapes. It provides a standard for recording, storing and playing back high definition recordings at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, at various frame rates. [ ⏩ ] MTS file extension

What is 3GPP file?

The 3GPP file extension is used to signify low-bitrate, multimedia files created using 3GPP technologies. It is considered a specialised form of the MP4 file type, and is typically used to store audio, video, graphics, and other data inside a single file container. 3GPP files may contain various multimedia content such as manipulated images, video text streams, and audio streams that have been compressed with one of the supported compression algorithms.

How to convert the file from MTS to 3GPP?

To successfully convert the MTS file to 3GPP, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MTS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case 3GPP (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than 3GPP).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MTS to 3GPP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MTS files to 3GPP files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension 3GPP, while before this step we had the MTS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new 3GPP file, or not.
