MTS

MTS is the video format of AVCHD camcorders from brands such as Sony and Panasonic. It stores high-definition H.264 video with Dolby Digital audio in an MPEG-2 transport stream. MTS files are not supported by every app, so they are often converted to MP4.

AAC

AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio codec designed as the successor to MP3. At the same bitrate it usually sounds better than MP3, and it is the standard audio format for Apple devices, YouTube, streaming services, and MP4 video. AAC audio is often stored in M4A or MP4 files.

What happens when MTS becomes AAC

Source format

MTS is the video source or target format for this conversion path.

Target format

AAC is a lossy audio codec that is efficient at moderate bitrates.

What changes

The audio stream is decoded from the MTS container and encoded as AAC audio.

The video track, frames, subtitles, chapters, and visual metadata are not included in the audio output.

What is preserved
Audio duration and channel layout are preserved when the source stream and target codec support them.
What may be lost
All visual content is intentionally discarded.
Codec and quality implications
AAC uses lossy compression. A higher quality or bitrate can reduce new artifacts, but it cannot restore detail already missing from the MTS source.
Realistic limitations
A MTS file with no decodable audio stream cannot produce AAC audio. Corrupt, encrypted, or unsupported codecs can also fail.

Conversion steps

  1. Upload a MTS file no larger than 1 GB.
  2. Confirm that AAC is selected as the target.
  3. Start the conversion. A healthy compatible worker begins processing immediately.
  4. Download the AAC file and check the result before deleting your source.

Troubleshooting

The MTS file is rejected or will not open.
Confirm that the file is not empty, password-protected, or corrupt and that its real format matches the extension.
The AAC file is larger than expected.
Choose a more efficient codec or lower quality setting when available. Lossless and uncompressed targets are often larger by design.
The result has no sound or will not play.
Try a broadly supported target codec and verify that the source contains a decodable audio stream.

Privacy and file retention

Uploads and converted files are processed automatically and irreversibly deleted within 24 hours. You can delete them sooner with the delete control. Convertr does not read, mine, sell, or manually review file contents.
