For the past few days, I've been evaluating a prototype of Sony's first NXCAM camera family member. This first NXCAM model has a striking resemblance to a Sony Z5, which is an HDV tape-based camcorder with optional chip recording. Announced on November 18th, Sony's new NXCAM family brand offers class-leading, professional performance for AVCHD technology.
Sony NXCAM records stunning quality 1920 x 1080 images at 24Mbps (50i or 25p), and operational flexibility is maximised by AVCHD recording onto affordable and readily available consumer memory cards. Now I have a client who is a NXCAM user, he passed to me a bunch of .mts files came from his NXCAM with no camera info. He want to get some suggestion for playing and sharing NXCAM AVCHD video on Mac.
Then I recommend him to look for a converter that can convert NXCAM MTS files to H.264, thus, after enjoying the video on Mac, he can also transfer the H.264 files to media players or video devices for playback or sharing. He tries some converter from the web, but only received an error message while converting NXCam video to h.264. Didn't get to write it down because the app crashed. And then want me to give him some hope.
In that case, I will share my easy solution here. Since H.264 is fully supported by most media players and video uploading website, first you need to transcode NXCAM AVCHD MTS to H.264 with the top NXCAM AVCHD Converter for Mac from Pavtube.
For background, the app from Pavtube worked the first time we tried it but not this time. It works perfectly in converting NXCAM AVCHD video to H.264 codec. Not only is it extremely easy to use but it's also often faster than any other Compressor. What's more, it can convert NXCAM mts videos to other common target readable format in which you want the video to be played. Then it has quickly become my absolute favorite way of converting my Sony NXCAM footage. Well, below is a step-by-step guide for you.
