FAQ
HD Converter questions.
Can it convert MTS to MP4?
Yes. MTS and M2TS files from AVCHD camcorders are supported inputs, and MP4 is an output option.
Can it convert M2TS to MP4?
Yes. M2TS is supported, including AVCHD camcorder files and M2TS files copied from a Blu-ray folder structure.
Does it support 4K video?
No. The HD converter is designed for SD and HD footage up to 1080p. It is not a 4K or HEVC editor.
Does conversion preserve quality?
The product re-encodes to H.264 MP4. Quality depends on the output resolution and bitrate you choose. For archiving, use a high bitrate and keep the original files.
Can it join multiple camcorder clips?
The current product is a converter, not a timeline editor. It converts clips individually in a batch. Use an editor if you need to join clips into one timeline.
Is it Windows-only?
Yes. The current products run on Windows 10 and Windows 11. There is no Mac version.
