MTS to MPG Converter

Why convert MTS to MPG?

Re-wrapping MTS footage as MPG is what makes it playable and editable outside the device or era it came from, without re-shooting anything. MPG (MPEG program stream) earns its place here: plays on old hardware and editing suites without codec hunting. MTS files come off Sony, Panasonic and Canon AVCHD camcorders. The picture quality is excellent; the container is awkward for everything except dedicated editors.

When MTS → MPG is the right move

• An editor, phone or TV plays MPG smoothly but stutters on MTS — or refuses it outright.
• You are uploading somewhere that lists MPG as a supported format and MTS as unsupported.
• Old MTS footage needs to become something you can still open in five years.

Quality, size and what changes

Picture and sound are re-encoded into the MPG container at a bitrate chosen to keep the result visually close to the MTS source. Resolution, frame rate and duration are preserved; file size usually changes noticeably because MTS and MPG lean on different codecs. Multiple audio tracks or chapter data may not carry over.

How it works

Drop your MTS file above and Morphio decodes it locally, then re-encodes it as MPG using WebAssembly + the browser's native codecs. Nothing is ever uploaded — your files stay on your device. Batch as many files as your machine can handle. See exactly how in-browser conversion works.
