I. Introduction to M2TS format

The suffix of the M2TS format is (.m2ts or .mts). M2TS is a high-definition video format supporting multitasking video and audio streaming, mainly used in Blu-ray movies and high-definition camera footage. Although M2TS offers superior display quality, its files are often large. To watch these videos on mobile devices with limited memory, such as phones, it is necessary to compress or convert the format. MP4 is ideal for mobile devices due to its good video quality and smaller storage requirements.

TipsWhen choosing the MP4 format, it is recommended to select MP4 video (.MP4) as the output format. Other MP4 formats with a resolution of 1080P/720P may alter the video quality, preventing lossless conversion.

In addition to format conversion, there are other functions in video editing, which can quickly adjust and edit videos.

Effects: Click the Filter Effect button on the toolbar to adjust the video’s brightness, contrast, and saturation. Use the one-key enhancement button for intelligent adjustments. You can also adjust playback speed, add special effects, and improve video display.
