Video Upload Codec question

[groovyone]

I am trying to upload some videos from my Sony SR11 camcorder that have the extension *.mt2s for AVCHD format videos. The uploader will not recognize the files.

Is this format not supported, is it because I only have a Power account right now, or is it because this laptop doesn't have the codecs to play the files so it is not being recognized as video?

Can you convert the file to .mov .avi, .wav etc? I just uploaded .mov a few days ago to my smugmug account.

I have uploaded several different types of videos... but never the format you detailed. This may or may not help, but thought it couldn't hurt. :LINK:

Well, what I finally did was attempt 4 methods.

#1 I changed the file extension from *.m2ts to *.MP4
#2 I used Premier Elements 7 and ended up with a *.mts file that I still had to rename
#3 I used Koyote's software to make an *.mp4 (bit rate was capped at 9000 KBps)
#4 I used Handbrake to make an *.m4v file

All four technically worked, but the Handbrake method gave the best result by far.

Convert MTS to flash video like flv/f4v/swf.

Convert MTS to FLV, F4V and SWF format for uploading to Internet on Windows 7?
