Sobre os arquivos WAVComparativo de vantagens
MTS Vantagens
- Native format for every AVCHD camcorder since 2006.
- H.264 compression — small files for high-def quality.
- Direct compatibility with iMovie, Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut.
- Carries Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on flagship camcorders.
WAV Vantagens
- Bit-perfect, uncompressed audio — the professional studio standard.
- Universally supported for playback, editing, and analysis.
- No re-encoding penalty — edit and save repeatedly with zero quality loss.
- Simple internal structure — easy to parse programmatically.
- Supports up to 32-bit float and 384 kHz sample rates.
Limitações
MTS Limitações
- Slow to decode — editors typically transcode for editing.
- Proprietary folder-structure conventions complicate direct import.
- Largely legacy as smartphones replaced dedicated camcorders.
- 192-byte packet format adds overhead vs plain TS.
WAV Limitações
- Enormous file sizes — 10 MB per minute for CD-quality stereo.
- 4 GB size limit for standard WAV (RF64/W64 variants extend it but break compatibility).
- No native support for cover art or rich metadata.
- Impractical for casual listening or bandwidth-constrained delivery.

Perguntas frequentes
MTS (AVCHD Video) is a video container format that bundles one or more video streams, audio tracks, and optional subtitles into a single file. The container format determines how metadata is organised and which codecs can live inside; the visual quality itself depends on the codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1) rather than the MTS wrapper. It is part of the video files family.

VLC, MPV and PotPlayer play nearly every MTS file on desktop. Browser support varies: modern Chromium, Firefox and Safari play common containers via the HTML5 <video> tag, but niche MTS variants may fail. If a device refuses your MTS, convert to MP4 with our MTS to MP4 converter for universal playback.

Upload your MTS to KaijuConverter and pick MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, or any other target. Our pipeline uses FFmpeg under the hood and stream-copies when codecs are compatible (no quality loss) or transcodes at high-quality defaults otherwise. Conversion runs server-side; both files delete within two hours.
Only when the target requires re-encoding. If the codecs inside MTS match what the target container supports, FFmpeg stream-copies the streams and the output is bit-identical to the source. Transcoding uses transparent quality defaults (CRF 20–23 H.264) and produces output indistinguishable from the original at normal viewing distance.
