Audio-stream extraction: How MTS becomes WAV
Converter.now selects the audio stream in MTS, leaves the picture stream out, and encodes that sound as WAV. 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. WAV delivery writes a RIFF waveform whose PCM precision, rate, channels, channel mask, peaks, and large file size matter more than codec branding.
Decoded media - An AVCHD transport-stream recording commonly produced directly by cameras. Encoded delivery profile - A waveform container written here as uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio.

If you want the reasoning behind this MTS to WAV route, why the same extension can hold different codecs explains why a familiar extension can still fail to play.

MTS source facts versus WAV 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 Waveform Audio cannot safely promise
PCM WAV can be much larger than delivery audio, and converting high-bit-depth material to 16-bit changes sample precision.
How the WAV writer handles this route
The verified WAV profile writes 16-bit little-endian PCM rather than a perceptual delivery codec.
Checking the WAV result before you trust it
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 WAV file in its receiving workflow
Compare duration, sample rate, 16-bit depth, channels, peaks, and audible clipping.
When to actually choose MTS to WAV
Choose this route to deliver dialogue, music, or a soundtrack to a system that accepts WAV; keep MTS when its pictures, captions, or visual timing still matter.
What changes between the MTS model and the WAV deliverable
- The source stores an AVCHD transport-stream recording commonly produced directly by cameras; the destination stores a waveform container written here as uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio. Compare application metadata after that structural change.
- Treat MTS-specific metadata fields as optional in the WAV result until you have actually confirmed they survived.
