What is an MTS file?
The MTS file extension denotes a high-definition video file formatted in the Advanced Video Coding High Definition (AVCHD) format. It utilizes the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (MPEG-2 TS) container structure to encapsulate video data compressed with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and audio in Dolby Digital (AC-3) or uncompressed LPCM. Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic for consumer camcorders, MTS files support resolutions up to 1080p and 60 frames per second. When imported from a camera to a computer, the file extension often changes to M2TS.
How to open an MTS file
Native support for MTS varies by OS version. Windows 10 and 11 generally support AVCHD playback via the Movies & TV app, provided the necessary MPEG-2 extensions are installed. macOS plays MTS files natively in QuickTime. For editing or reliable playback across all platforms, including Linux, VLC Media Player is preferred as it handles the H.264 video and AC-3 audio streams without requiring external codec packs.
