What is a .MTS file?
MTS is the AVCHD video format used by camcorders, holding H.264 video.
- Did you know
- MTS is the camcorder recording form of AVCHD, which Sony and Panasonic jointly introduced in 2006 for HD camcorders.
- AVCHD compresses video with H.264 and carries audio as Dolby AC-3 or uncompressed linear PCM.
- The MTS stream is based on the Blu-ray BDAV transport stream, so footage maps neatly onto Blu-ray discs.
- The same data is usually renamed from MTS to M2TS once copied to a computer for wider playback support.
- What Analyser shows you
- Read the container, codec, resolution, and frame rate of MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, and WebM video, step through frames, and extract the audio track. Raw H.264/H.265 elementary streams (.h264/.265) are remuxed to MP4 in-browser so they play too, as are AVCHD camcorder files (.mts/.m2ts) - the video is copied and the audio transcoded to AAC. Sony cameras (Alpha, FX, RX) that embed a gyro / accelerometer "rtmd" timed-metadata track have that inertial data decoded and plotted - the same gyroscope and accelerometer samples Gyroflow and Catalyst Browse use to stabilise footage - alongside the ISO, white balance and capture time.
- Open a .MTS file
- Drag a .MTS file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
