Trying to convert .MTS files to .MP4 using Playmemories Home on iMac...

Hazelw00d — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 09:30:05 GMT

Looking for some help please!

I want to upload some videos I've taken on my Sony a5000 to my Mac to edit them but they're currently .mts files which no computer will recognise. I've downloaded Playmemories Home and tried to use the tool to convert files to .mp4 however it doesn't seem to recognise these files either. The .mts movie files can't be dragged over to the conversion panel - they just bounce straight back!

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to have to download any conversion software - what is the point in being able to record video on this camera if I can't do anything with the videos afterwards!

Hi @Hazelw00d,

I want to upload some videos I've taken on my Sony a5000 to my Mac to edit them but they're currently .mts files which no computer will recognise.

well, MTS files are well known and have been a standard for years meanwhile. They do contain AVCHD video and as far as I know your Mac should be able to read them using iMovie (which should be available for free for Macs). At least the A5000 is listed as being compatible here.

So my advice would be to import the videos directly from the card by means of iMovie. Converting them beforehand should not be necessary.

Cheers
