How MTS turns into FLAC: audio-stream extraction
Converter.now selects the audio stream in MTS, leaves the picture stream out, and encodes that sound as FLAC. The result is audio, not a silent copy of the video. MTS is read as an AVCHD transport stream whose packet timestamps, interlaced fields, long-GOP video, audio programs, and spanned-clip boundaries need reconciliation. FLAC output losslessly codes decoded samples and supports rich comments, yet it cannot reconstruct fidelity already removed by a lossy source codec.
Decoded media - An AVCHD transport-stream recording commonly produced directly by cameras. Encoded delivery profile - Losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags.

MTS source facts versus FLAC output requirements
What can fail when MTS video container is interpreted
Interlacing, long-GOP timing, multiple audio streams, and camera spanned clips require deliberate handling.
What Free Lossless Audio Codec cannot safely promise
FLAC does not make a lossy source lossless again, and some basic players reject less common sample rates or channel layouts.
How the FLAC writer handles this route
The verified FLAC profile uses lossless compression level 8; it preserves decoded samples rather than source codec data.
Acceptance evidence for the converted FLAC
Record the MTS evidence before conversion
Check frame rate and field order, stream count, clip duration, spanned boundaries, timestamps, seeking, and audio sync.
Test the FLAC file in its receiving workflow
Compare duration, sample rate, channels, peak levels, and tags with the decoded source.
The delivery decision for this MTS to FLAC route
Take this route when only dialogue, music, or a soundtrack needs to reach a FLAC-accepting system; hold onto MTS whenever its pictures, captions, or visual timing still matter.
What changes between the MTS model and the FLAC deliverable
- The source stores an AVCHD transport-stream recording commonly produced directly by cameras; the destination stores losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags. Compare application metadata after that structural change.
- Metadata handling differs between MTS and FLAC; do not assume every application-specific field carries across untouched.
