Video format conversion from AVI Video to MTS Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.
Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.
