For example, "My Sony Alpha NEX-6 camera produces 1080p 60p HD movies in AVCHD MTS. I want to convert the MTS-files to MP4-files because Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0, which I'm using for editing, does not accept MTS-files as input files.

Step 3. Select output format for Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0

There are two choices for MP4, namely "H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)" and "MPEG-4 HD Video (*.mp4)". Both the two formats can be chosen as output under "HD Video".

Tips:

If there is an NVIDIA/AMD graphics card that supports GPU en-decoding acceleration installed on your computer, we suggest that you should choose "Common Video">"H.264 Baseline Profile Video (*.mp4)". Because The CUDA and AMD APP acceleration only work when creating H.264 Baseline profile encoded video files. This would largely speed up the conversion speed.

If you intend to get files in 720p, you can click "Settings" button and go to "Profile Settings" windows to adjust the video resolution down to "1280*720". Plus, video bit rate, frame rate, audio sample rate, audio bit rate and audio channels are all adjustable on this panel.
