Convert MTS to MP4 Fast with Brorsoft MTS Converter — Step-by-Step Guide
What this guide achieves
Quickly convert Sony/AVCHD .MTS files to MP4 (H.264) with good quality and small file size using Brorsoft MTS Converter.
Before you start
- Input: .MTS files from camcorders (AVCHD).
- Output: MP4 (H.264) playable on phones, tablets, web.
- Assumption: You have Brorsoft MTS Converter installed on Windows or macOS.
Steps
- Install and launch Brorsoft MTS Converter.
- Click Add or drag your .MTS files into the program window.
- (Optional) Select multiple files and click Merge if you want a single output file.
- Choose output format:
- Click Format → select Common Video → H.264 MP4 (*.mp4).
- Adjust settings for speed vs. quality:
- For fastest conversion: set Encoder to H.264, Bitrate lower (e.g., 1,500–3,000 kbps), Resolution unchanged (keep source) or downscale to 1080p/720p, and set Frame Rate to Same as source.
- For best quality: use higher bitrate (4,000–8,000 kbps) and keep original resolution and frame rate.
- (Optional) Click Edit to trim, crop, add subtitles, or stabilize footage before conversion.
- Choose output folder via Output field.
- Click Convert to start. Monitor progress; the software shows time remaining.
- When finished, click Open Output to locate converted MP4 files.
Quick optimization tips
- Use a hardware-accelerated encoder (if available) to speed up conversion (look for Intel QSV, NVIDIA NVENC, or AMD options).
- Batch convert multiple files to save time.
- If file size matters, reduce bitrate or resolution; for upload to web, 1080p at 4 Mbps is a common balance.
- Test-settings on a short clip before converting large batches.
Troubleshooting
- If audio/video desync: try converting with “Same as source” frame rate and check audio codec settings.
- If conversion fails: update Brorsoft, ensure source files aren’t corrupted, or try re-importing from original media.
