Will You Lose Quality Converting MTS to APE?
Commonly produced by Sony, Canon and Panasonic camcorders When this data is re-encoded into Monkey's Audio, Significantly slower encode/decode than FLAC Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. 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. Monkey's Audio preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.
Extracting audio from MTS Video video to Monkey's Audio 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 APE 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.
