how can I convert .mts to .mov files?

iSkysoft Video Converter works very well. It can merge files, do some basic editing, export to a large number of formats, etc.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • How do you convert .mts to .mov for Quicktime and iMovie?

    I have a bunch of mts recordings from my Sony Handycam. Now I want to import them to my Mac and then put them into iMovie for further editing. How do I do? I heard that mts should be converted to mov format which maintains high quality but compatibale with iMovie and Quicktime. Is there any freeware to convert *.mts files to mov? Thanks for any recommendations.

    The best solution is to not convert at all and import directrly from your Handycam, you can do this from the File>Import menu.  Check to se if your Handycam is supported here https://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    NOTE: the following is converting video and is always time intensive so take that into consideration.
    For the videos on your disk it is sadly too late for that so you will have to get a converter, I recommend Handbrake http://handbrake.fr .  You can convert the file to an mp4 which can handle the same (and better) quality video as mov does and it supports AVCHD video (the same quality as your camra).
    Simply select MPEG-4 (mp4v2)
    Video Codec: H.264 (this is what is in an MOV file)
    and set "constant quality" around 13 or below (the smaller the number the higher the quality but larger file size)
    You end up with Bly-Ray quality, iMovie accaptable video.

  • How do I convert MTS to MOV on my macbook mountain lion 10.8.5?

    Hi,

  • How can I convert an .AVI movie file to get it into i-movie for editing?

    I have downloaded the VLC media player which will open and play the .AVI files from a video camera (RCA Small wonder high def digital camcorder EZ229HD). Now I need to be able to convert these movies (which will only open and play after dragging them to the desktop) to import into i-movie so they can be edited. Anyone know how to do this? The phone support at MAC help said they really can't do any third party stuff so I do not know what to download, purchase, or even if this is possible. Can't imagine a format that won't work with a MAC! Please help. Thank you! Need these for a project.

    Use Handbrake.
    You can download it for free from this site:

  • How can I convert a home movie on dvd(vob file) to edit on imovie?

    I had home movies converted to a dvd- the files are vob. Now I want to edit the movies in imovie.
    I am having a difficult time converting from vob straight to mov files.
    I purchased Quick Time Pro thinking that could do it, but I haven't been able to.
    Also, it just says QuickTime Player Version 7.6.4 (518.35) on my computer.
    Is it supposed to say QuickTIme Pro?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    The "Pro" option just unlocks a lot of features in QuickTime Player. If you look at the registration info, it will show if you have Pro installed.
    For converting DVD's you have two options; hardware or software.
    The hardware option involves connecting a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified "DV device" (DV camcorder, VTR or converter) then connecting the DV device's Firewire port to your Mac to capture the footage.
    The software option involves using an application like DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that works natively with your chosen NLE.

  • How to I convert MTS to .MOV for free?

    I have MTS files that I wish to edit in iMovie and they are unrecognizable. MPEG streamclip also doesn't recognize them.
    Help?

    Hi Paul
    I am currently using a panasonic  SD90 (again a basic camcorder for my learning curve on filming) and my next buy is a Canon XA10. I have started filming on iframe (and it downloads great) but if I take any pics then it automatically reverts back to AVCHD which is a nuisance and Apple tell me that I would have to download the pics first and then reset it to iframe for it to stay in ifame but at least I understand the process now it has been explained to me.
    I must say that I took out  one to one and it has been worth every penny as it allows me to go into far more detail than the standard workshops. The staff have been great  and very patient.
    I am currently researching watermarking my film and photos for my next lession as from what I understand, goggle are saying that you have to either register or watermark your work or they will claim rights to it...I may be wrong but that is my current understanding of things.
    I  have downloaded iwatermark (again free) just to see how I get on with the interface and it is fine so far. I am very much a visual learner and once I am confidant I will look to purchase something that is pro level and easy to use.

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.
