Fidelity When Converting MTS to RA
MTS Video already discards some data during compression. Converting to RealAudio applies its own compression algorithm, which may introduce minor artifacts at very low quality settings. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format. For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's MTS Video to RealAudio pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets audio industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible MTS Video source always yields the best RealAudio output.
Extracting audio from MTS Video video to RealAudio 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.
The MTS to RA conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Commonly produced by Sony, Canon and Panasonic camcorders
