Generation loss — quality may degrade
MTS uses lossy compression and TIFF typically uses lossy mode. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Some metadata may not survive
Your MTS file may contain AVCHD metadata metadata. TIFF has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
Die Umwandlung von MTS-Videodateien in das TIFF-Format ist in technischen und geschäftlichen Umfeldern oft unerlässlich.
