I think you could accomplish that using HandBrake.

iPad FCP and AVCHD .mts files I know that the Mac version of FCP supports AVCHD .mts files and am wondering of the iPad version does? If not is there a utility that runs on the iPad that will convert the .mts files to .mov files? I thought that VLC for the iPad would be able to do it but it does not have the conversion function like the Mac version does, it is just the player section.

How to convert old .mov files to format that is viewable? I have some old .MOV files that will not open in QuickTime (OS Ventura 13.3). I get the error "This file contains some media which isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." My understanding is that this file has an old CODEC setting that is no longer readable. It will play the audio only, no video. How can I open the file to save it as an updated format? I have tried opening it/importing it through iMovie, with no luck. iMovie doesn't seem to recognize it (it is greyed out/unclickable). My end use is to upload the video to my Adobe Portfolio site. Thank you.

Thank-you. I wasn't aware of it. I downloaded it and it worked fine.
