FAQ

MTS to MP4, answered.

Will I lose quality converting MTS to MP4?

The change is minimal. Both formats are compressed, and PrivateRemix converts at a high quality setting so there is no visible or audible drop for everyday use.

Why can't I edit MTS files directly?

MTS/AVCHD footage isn't accepted by many editors and players. Converting to MP4 makes camcorder footage easy to edit and share.

Is MP4 the best video format?

For sharing and playback, yes — MP4 is supported by nearly every phone, TV, browser and editor, which is why it's the safe default.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert MTS to MP4?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your MTS files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several MTS files to MP4 at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of MTS files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new MP4 next to its original.
