Convert MTS to AU
Fast, free, and secure MTS to AU conversion. No registration required.
Instantly transform mts into au with our zero-upload converter. All processing runs on your own device. MTS Video shines when you need high quality HD recording from consumer camcorders. But when simple format with wide Unix/Linux tool support matters more, AU Audio is the format to reach for — hence this conversion. Format-specific metadata and encoding parameters are preserved whenever the target format supports them. All processing happens in your browser. Your files remain completely private throughout the conversion.
Why Switch from MTS to AU?
There are strong reasons to convert MTS to AU:
Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify AU Audio as the required delivery format for video content.
Cloud storage efficiency: AU Audio's efficient encoding makes archival storage practical — important for large collections.
Workflow integration: When your pipeline requires AU Audio input, converting from MTS Video is the most reliable bridge between the two environments.
Universal viewer support: Nearly every operating system includes a built-in viewer for AU Audio, eliminating the need for third-party applications.
Archival needs: AU Audio is ideal for lossless archival, making it a solid choice for preserving MTS Video content.

Will You Lose Quality Converting MTS to AU?
A/B testing confirms that Xonvert's MTS Video to AU Audio output is indistinguishable from reference-quality conversions produced by leading desktop software. The WebAssembly engine uses identical codec libraries. AVCHD format using MPEG-2 Transport Stream container Originally for Sun Microsystems workstations These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For video-to-audio conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both MTS Video and AU Audio. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically.
Extracting audio from MTS Video video to AU 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 AU 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting MTS to AU change the resolution?▼
No. The original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally resize in the settings panel if you need different dimensions.
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.
How do I know the conversion was successful?▼
Xonvert validates the output file and shows a success confirmation. You can preview the result before downloading. If any issue occurs, a clear error message is displayed.
Is batch conversion available?▼
Yes. Drag or select multiple MTS files and they'll all convert to AU simultaneously. Download results individually or as a ZIP.
Is this MTS to AU converter free?▼
Yes, completely free. No registration, no hidden fees. Free users can convert files with Xonvert's full engine.
Why is my converted AU file larger than the original MTS?▼
This is expected. MTS uses lossy compression for smaller files. AU preserves data losslessly, resulting in larger but higher-fidelity files.
What browsers are supported?▼
Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge (all recent versions). Any browser supporting WebAssembly will work.
