How ALAC Handles MTS Data
Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. Apple Lossless preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility. Convert ALAC to FLAC for cross-platform lossless archival For the best results, start with the highest quality MTS Video source file available.
Extracting audio from MTS Video video to Apple Lossless format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.
Important: Converting from lossy MTS to lossless ALAC does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original MTS encoding cannot be recovered.
