This article describes three formats that use the MTS file extension. It also explains how to open each type on your computer and how to convert the file to another file format.
A file with the .MTS file extension is most likely an AVCHD video file, but it could also be a MEGA tree session file or a MadTracker sample file.
AVCHD video is saved in the HD MPEG Transport Stream video format and is typically created by Sony and Panasonic HD camcorders. The video is Blu-ray compatible and supports 720p and 1080i video. Sometimes these file types use the M2TS file extension and may be saved alongside MPL files.
MEGA tree session files store phylogenetic trees that the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) program can use to analyze the genetics of species to determine ancestral relationships. Versions after 5.05 use the file extension .MEG (MEGA Data).
