How to convert MTS files to Sony Vegas
Sony Vegas is a professional non-linear editing system originally published by Sonic Foundry which is now owned and run by Sony Creative Software that is designed for Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7. Since September 2006, altogether three version of Sony Vegas have been released namely Sony Vegas 7, Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 and Sony Vegas 9.0.
Sony Vegas supports unlimited video and audio tracks, any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 etc) and pixel aspect ratio, and any frame rate (23.97, 24, 25, 29.97, 30 etc). It is said that Sony Vegas can deal with AVCHD files directly, but to my research, this could not be proved to be true when dealing with MTS file, which is a kind of AVCHD file format.
Can Sony Vegas handle MTS files directly?
It is supposed to work with MTS files, but maybe not with every versions of Sony Vegas, I have been told that the most current version of Sony Vegas is needed in order to edit AVCHD (mts) compressed video from a high definition camcorder. But last time I checked, it could not deal with AVCHD (mts) encoding.
Probably various kinds of problems will occur when importing MTS files from camcorder to Sony Vegas, here, I'd like to share some of them to arise your attention and trying to work a way out.
Situation 1: My laptop is top of the line. Fastest processor in the world and second or third fastest hard drive. Every time try to import MTS files to Sony Vegas it freezes, and doesn't load. I've waited for 5 or so minutes and it remains frozen. Is there something wrong?
Situation 2: Sony Vegas 8.0 seems to be very particular about importing the AVCHD files with the extensions like mts, m2ts, and m2t. In other words, it sometimes will, but prefers not to. But it's supposed to be able to. I have Windows XP.
Situation 3: I have a Cannon Vixia HF100 camcorder, records in MTS files, I'd like to open in Sony Vegas 9 I got, but the editing is such a hassle that I have almost given up the whole program....it took me multiple hours editing some clips into a 3 minute video and adding music...
Situation 4: I bought a new camera HDR-SR10E. But I want to edit my videos in Sony Vegas. The camera creates MTS files. Neither media player or Vegas can read it, so I need a converter which doesn't ruin the quality. Anyone can advise me a good converter.
Tips: As to my experience, the reasons why importing MTS files to Sony Vegas becomes impossible or difficult may mainly lie in that, some of the files may too large or importing too much files that exceed its importing abiity, computer is not qualified to do it, lack of proper codec, or most probability, MTS file is not a proper file format that Sony Vegas can natively deal with.
Solution: Believe it or not, all the problems mentioned above can be smoothly relieved using the second to none MTS to Sony Vegas converter, with it, no other codec needed, no more worry about quality loss, no file size consideration, no longer time taken.
