Converting to WAV won't restore lost quality
Your MTS file has already undergone lossy compression. Converting to WAV preserves what's left — it prevents further degradation from re-saving — but it will not magically sharpen a blurry image or recover discarded audio frequencies.
Some metadata may not survive
Your MTS file may contain AVCHD metadata metadata. WAV has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
您是否曾遇到这样的情况：想把珍贵的MTS摄像机录音，提取出纯净的音频，用于后期制作、分享，或是作为游戏素材？MTS格式以其高画质著称，但音频部分却常常被“锁定”在视频文件里，不方便单独使用。将MTS转换为WAV，就像是从一段完整的录像中，精准地“剥离”出声音的灵魂，让它以最原始、无损的姿态独立存在。WAV作为一种广泛兼容的无损音频格式，能确保您从MTS中提取出的每一个音符、每一句对话，都保持原汁原味，不失真，不压缩，为您的后续创作或分享打下坚实基础。这项转换操作并不复杂，却能极大地拓展您MTS文件里音频部分的用途。

- 游戏音效制作

在华语地区，尤其是考虑到微信等社交平台的分享习惯，WAV格式虽体积较大，但在专业音频制作或对音质有高要求的场合，其无损特性仍是首选，确保内容质量不打折扣。
