What make of HD Camera do you have?

by mrmacfixit Forum moderator Aug 11, 2009 11:29PM PDT

mts is usually associated with AVCHD which your Mac should be able to import directly from the camera into iMovie without any further effort from you.

How did you get the file onto your Mac?

Do you have any still pictures on your camera HD?
If you do, save them somewhere and then delete them. On the Sony camera, import does not work if there are still pictures on the disk.

import directly to iMovie

by lescieyq Aug 18, 2009 11:49AM PDT

I couldn't import directly cos I didn't have the device... I lent it to somebody else, and now I've only had this stupid file....
Anyway guys, I googled these days and found lots of video converters. someone recommend me aimersoft,and I've never heard about it.. Does anyone know it? How does it work?.. seems it has a pretty big market though..
Thanks~

It's a hoot how that tricks iMovie into importing it.

My Recommendation

by ifunia Aug 19, 2009 12:46PM PDT

Hello lescieyq,

My JVC HD Cam, which output video format is also mts HD video, I am using Mac video converter software - iFunia, it is good to convert mts to other formats.

The problem here is iFunia is spammed a lot too.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Aug 19, 2009 10:28PM PDT

Any of the titles that we get spammed in the forums are usually less than ideal.

Just look at your forum name. Only the iFunia spammer would be so bold.

convert it

by jimmy8765 Mar 24, 2010 1:01PM PDT

I have files that are on my P.C. Computer and I want to use them on iMovie on my iMAC. The format of the video files I have are .MTS files which are the raw HD files from my JVC video camera. Convert them to MPEG, works well.

How should I convert my mts file to mov on mac?
