Fidelity When Converting PEF to MTS

Contains 12-bit or 14-bit uncompressed sensor data When this data is re-encoded into MTS Video, Commonly produced by Sony, Canon and Panasonic camcorders Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. MTS Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data.

Converting a static PEF Raw Photo 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 PEF 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.
