To be frank, it’s often the case you fail to put HD camcorder recorded MTS/M2TS clips to QuickTime, iPad or iPhone for playback or import HD MTS/M2TS videos to iTunes , iMovie or Final Cut Pro. This is because MTS and M2TS formats are only in format supported lists of camcorders but hardly found in other places.
