Format MTS
The MTS format is a digital video file format primarily associated with HD camcorders. Developed by Sony and Panasonic, it became a standard for HD video recording on AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) media in the mid-2000s.
Technically, the MTS format utilizes H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression for video encoding, allowing for high HD quality while maintaining a reasonable file size. It can contain high-definition video up to 1080p, as well as audio tracks in AC-3 (Dolby Digital) or linear PCM format.
One of the main advantages of the MTS format is its ability to preserve the original quality of HD video recordings. It is particularly efficient for storage and direct playback from camcorders. However, its main limitation lies in its limited compatibility with mainstream media players and video editing software. Many users often need to convert their MTS files to more universal formats like MP4 or MOV for editing or sharing.
Although less common today with the emergence of newer, more efficient compression formats, the MTS format remains present in the video ecosystem, particularly in HD content archives and legacy professional workflows. Its robustness and quality still make it a relevant choice for archiving high-definition video content.
Format AVI
The Audio Video Interleave format was developed by Microsoft in 1992 as part of their Video for Windows initiative.
This media container allows for the simultaneous storage of audio and video data in a single file, interleaving them for synchronized playback. Its structure, based on the RIFF format, offers great flexibility in the choice of codecs used for compression.
AVI quickly became a video standard in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly appreciated for its broad compatibility with Windows systems and its ability to maintain high video quality. It supports various resolutions and can contain videos encoded with different codecs like DivX, XviD, or MPEG-2, thus offering significant flexibility to content creators.
Despite its historical advantages, AVI has certain technical limitations. It does not natively support embedded subtitles, chapters, or advanced metadata, and it can struggle with videos over 2 GB due to its indexing structure.
These constraints, combined with the emergence of more modern formats like MP4 and MKV, have gradually reduced its use. Nevertheless, AVI remains widely supported by most media players and continues to be used in certain contexts, particularly for archiving uncompressed videos or compatibility with older systems.
