How MTS Handles NEF Data
Nikon RAW retains all original data. Converting to MTS Video 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 Nikon RAW to MTS Video pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets video 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 Nikon RAW source always yields the best MTS Video output.
Converting a static Nikon RAW image to MTS Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless NEF source retains all original data. Converting to lossy MTS will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
