Fidelity When Converting MTS to RW2
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the RW2 Raw Photo format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in RW2 Raw Photo are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality MTS Video input produces an excellent RW2 Raw Photo output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. MTS Video encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. RW2 Raw Photo prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Extracting an image from MTS Video video produces a single frame snapshot in RW2 Raw Photo format. This is ideal for creating thumbnails, capturing specific moments from footage, or generating preview images for video content. Xonvert extracts the first frame at its original resolution.
Important: Converting from lossy MTS to lossless RW2 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.
