Convert AU to MTS
Fast, free, and secure AU to MTS conversion. No registration required.
Instantly transform au into mts with our zero-upload converter. All processing runs on your own device. AU Audio shines when you need simple format with wide Unix/Linux tool support. But when high quality HD recording from consumer camcorders matters more, MTS Video is the format to reach for — hence this conversion. Format-specific metadata and encoding parameters are preserved whenever the target format supports them. The tool handles all the technical details automatically — codec selection, quality settings and metadata.
Why Switch from AU to MTS?
There are strong reasons to convert AU to MTS:
Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify MTS Video as the required delivery format for audio content.
Cloud storage efficiency: MTS Video's smaller file size means lower cloud storage costs — important for large collections.
Workflow integration: When your pipeline requires MTS Video input, converting from AU Audio is the most reliable bridge between the two environments.
Universal viewer support: Nearly every operating system includes a built-in viewer for MTS Video, eliminating the need for third-party applications.
Archival needs: MTS Video is widely accepted for long-term storage, making it a solid choice for preserving AU Audio content.

Will You Lose Quality Converting AU to MTS?
Convert AU to WAV for modern audio editing On the output side, Convert MTS to MP4 for sharing and editing compatibility Together, following these practices ensures the best conversion outcome between AU Audio and MTS Video. Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. AU Audio preserves the full range. MTS Video optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the MTS Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in MTS Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content.
Converting AU Audio audio to MTS Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless AU source retains all original data. Converting to lossy MTS will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.
What is AU format?▼
AU Audio is Sun/Unix audio format for basic audio on Unix systems. It is primarily used for Unix system sounds, telephony and basic audio processing. Originally for Sun Microsystems workstations
Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target MTS format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.
Does the conversion preserve metadata?▼
Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
Can I share the converted MTS file directly?▼
Yes. After conversion, you can download the MTS file and share it via email, messaging apps, cloud storage, or any other method you prefer.
Does converting AU to MTS change the resolution?▼
Resolution is not applicable for audio files. All content data transfers at full fidelity.
Do I need to install any software?▼
No installation required. The converter runs entirely in your web browser. No plugins, extensions or desktop apps needed.
