Understanding MTS files

What is a MTS file?

HD camcorder video format (AVCHD)

MTS files are also Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) video files that contain high definition MPEG videos that have been captured by certain models of video camcorders. Originally designed by Sony and Panasonic for their High Definition camcorders, JVC, Sanyo, and Canon camcorders also now record audio and video in the MTS file format. Typically MTS videos have high definition streams and support both 720p and 1080i HD videos.

I have been a dialogue system researcher for half a decade now. I had build my own app for doing the transcriptions. Sonix was clearly better than what I had. I made the switch!
