Convert MTS to iPad Video — Free Online Converter

MTS files from AVCHD camcorders contain H.264/AVC video at 1080i60, but iPad cannot hardware-decode the MPEG-2 Transport Stream container or properly display interlaced video on its progressive retina display. iPad Video conversion deinterlaces to progressive scan, re-wraps in MP4, and ensures H.264 High profile compatibility with iPad's VideoToolbox hardware decoder for smooth, power-efficient playback.

iPad's large, high-resolution display (2048x1536 or higher) is excellent for watching video, but it requires progressive-scan content in an MP4 or MOV container. MTS files present three problems: the MPEG-2 TS container is not recognized by iPad's media player, the 1080i interlacing produces combing artifacts on the progressive display, and AC3 audio may not decode without third-party apps.

Converting to iPad Video resolves all three issues while optimizing the encoding for iPad's specific hardware capabilities. The H.264 High profile with AAC-LC audio in MP4 plays with hardware acceleration, ensuring smooth playback even on battery power. The video syncs via iTunes/Finder and appears in the TV app.
