In that case, you need convert the MTS/M2TS recordings to some acceptable formats, i.e, FLV, F4V and SWF. FLV files can play on any of the Flash Player versions noted above, while F4V files can only be played with Flash Players 9 (v3) and 10. All of these files can also be played on Adobe Media Player, which itself runs on the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) platform. SWF files can be played back using Flash Player, and SWF files primarily play through the Flash Player web browser plug-in.

How to De-interlace, Trim and Merge MTS videos when encoding MTS to FLV/F4V/SWF?

De-interlace

By default the HD Video Converter will apply de-interlacing facility to all the MTS clips that are interlaced. If you’re using an older version, just click “Edit” to enter the video editor, switch to “Effect” tab, and check the “Deinterlacing” box. If you’d like to apply de-interlacing effect to all the loaded MTS files, click “Apply to All” before hitting “OK” to confirm.

Trim

Basically, video hosting sites restrict video clips to be in certain file size and length. For instance, YouTube stated that “videos can be up to 2GB in size and 10 minutes long”. You can trim the video to desired length with the Pavtube HD Video Converter. Simply click ‘Edit’ menu-> ‘Trim’ tab and set start and end time point.
