Though it is said that WDTV can support a wide variety of popular file formats, for the high definition AVCHD MTS recordings, we may got some troubles for playback. So in the following article, we are going to discuss the topic on how to play the AVCHD MTS movies smoothly on WDTV.
‘I have read a lot about media players like Roku and WDTV but it appears that almost every piece of hardware out there soed not support MTS(AVCHD) files, which is insane to think Canon sells HD camcorder that saves in a format that isn’t supported anywhere….maybe we should get through this situation in another way’
As we know the issues we met above when working with WDTV, we also suggest you to know more details on WDTV supported file formats:
Video: MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264)
