MTS to W64 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
AVCHD Video and Sony Wave64 exist for different jobs: MTS is the raw AVCHD clip format Sony/Canon camcorders write — high-bitrate H.264 transport streams straight off the memory card. Convert W64 recordings to WAV or FLAC for standard editors.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the MTS format
MTS is what actually comes off a Sony or Canon AVCHD camcorder's memory card: high-bitrate H.264 transport streams with AC-3/PCM audio, often split across a BDMV folder structure. The video inside is excellent — the container is what edit software refuses to import.
Converting MTS to MP4 remuxes or re-encodes into a container every device opens. Stream-copy is possible when the H.264 profile is baseline-compatible; otherwise a light re-encode fixes compatibility without visible loss.
+ Strengths
- ✓Native camcorder quality (24-28 Mbps)
- ✓Audio in AC-3/PCM survives remux
- ✓ffmpeg handles the transport stream natively
! Limitations
- −AVCHD H.264 profiles not always stream-copyable
- −Interlaced variants need deinterlacing
- −60p modes confuse older editors
About the W64 format
W64 is Sony's Wave64 — what happens when WAV's 32-bit size fields run out of road. A RIFF variant with 64-bit offsets, it shrugs off the 4 GB ceiling that makes plain WAV choke, which is why long field-recording sessions and Sony Vegas projects land in W64.
Inside, it is the same uncompressed PCM as WAV — ffmpeg hands W64 to WAV, FLAC or MP3 without touching a single sample, so conversion is purely about container compatibility.
+ Strengths
- ✓No 4 GB size ceiling — hours-long recordings
- ✓Bit-exact PCM, same as WAV inside
- ✓Standard in Sony Vegas workflows
! Limitations
- −Almost nothing outside Sony tools opens it
- −Uncompressed — very large files
- −Legacy niche — new tools prefer RF64

Frequently asked questions
Is this MTS to W64 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for MTS to W64?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of W64, staying in sync with the video. If your MTS file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Does converting MTS to W64 re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
