Settings

Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

mts

MTS is a file extension associated with the AVCHD recording format, jointly developed by Sony and Panasonic for high-definition consumer camcorders. Files with the MTS extension contain MPEG-2 transport stream data carrying H.264/AVC video at resolutions up to 1920x1080, paired with Dolby Digital (AC-3) or LPCM audio. The MTS designation is used when AVCHD content is accessed directly from the recording media, as opposed to M2TS files which typically refer to the same transport stream format in Blu-ray disc contexts. Consumer and semi-professional camcorders from Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and other manufacturers write MTS files into a structured directory hierarchy on memory cards or internal storage, accompanied by index and playlist files that organize clips for in-camera playback. The transport stream packaging includes timing information critical for maintaining audio-video synchronization and supports features like random access points for efficient seeking. MTS recordings preserve the full quality captured by the camera sensor, making them suitable as source material for editing workflows. The use of H.264 compression provides an effective balance between video quality and file size, enabling extended recording times on commonly available SD and SDHC memory cards. MTS files are recognized by all major video editing applications and can be imported directly into editing timelines, though some workflows benefit from transcoding to editing-optimized formats for smoother real-time performance.

flac

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) delivers mathematically perfect audio reproduction at roughly half the size of an uncompressed WAV file. Maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation and released in 2001, it quickly became the de facto open standard for lossless music archival. The encoder applies linear prediction to model each audio block, then codes the residual through Rice partitioning — exploiting the statistical distribution of prediction errors for strong compression without discarding data. Bit depths up to 32 and sample rates up to 655 kHz are supported, exceeding the requirements of high-resolution recordings. Hardware support is extensive: smartphones, car stereos, Blu-ray players, and virtually every desktop media application decode FLAC natively. Streaming services such as Tidal and Amazon Music use FLAC for lossless tiers, underscoring industry trust in the codec. Three standout benefits make FLAC compelling. First, complete bit-for-bit restoration of the original signal upon decoding. Second, embedded metadata via Vorbis comments and album art keeps libraries organized without sidecar files. Third, open-source licensing means no patents or royalties, removing legal friction for developers and hardware vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why extract FLAC from MTS?

FLAC preserves every audio detail without compression loss — perfect for archiving soundtracks from your camcorder recordings.

What plays FLAC?

VLC, foobar2000, Winamp, most Android players, and high-end audio hardware support FLAC natively.

Is FLAC smaller than WAV?

Yes — FLAC compresses losslessly to about 50-60% of WAV size while maintaining identical audio quality.

Can I use FLAC for editing?

Absolutely. FLAC preserves full quality, making it ideal for audio editing in Audacity or Adobe Audition.

Is batch extraction available?

Upload several MTS recordings and extract FLAC from each simultaneously.
