How to Get iMovie Support Sony HDR-PJ440/B MTS Files?



One of my friends has a Sony HDR-PJ440, which is the best camcorder as he thought. He captured many videos with his PJ440 like 1080/60p AVCHD, XAVC S, and he wants to edit the AVCHD MTS recordings with iMovie thus he can share the videos with us and upload video to the website. But while he trying to import MTS clips from Sony HDR-PJ440 to iMovie, the program can’t be compatible well with these AVCHD files.

iMovie is one of the best video editing tools for Mac. With it, you can beautify your videos simply by cutting, cropping, merging, adding effects etc. to them. It works stable on Mac computer, so it’s loved by millions of users. On the official site, it says iMovie can support DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V file types.

Will the Xbox One/360 receive H.265 4K support? Not Yet!



“Would it be possible for Microsoft to release a software update that would give the Xbox One the capability to play HEVC (H.265) 4K video, or would I have to wait for the ninth generation of video game consoles to be able to do that?” – From answers.microsoft.com


 

4K resolution is widely predicted to be the main development trend of video resolution, which is on the way to all of us. While, High Efficiency Video Coding is the latest video compression standard that promises to deliver visual quality equivalent to H.264 with up to 50% bitrate savings (H.265 vs H.264). In most cases, to get higher video quality and definition for playback via Xbox One/Xbox 360. 

I would love the ability of being able to play H.265 encoded media through my Xbox One. Do you have the similar ideas? Fine, according to the Xbox’s supported formats limitation, it seems a little important to find some H.265/HEVC to Xbox converters to solve the issues, right?

Step 3: Custom Video or Audio Settings for Xbox One/360

If the default A/V settings cannot fit your needs, you can click “Settings” button to custom the output video and audio settings by yourself. But if you are not good at it, you’d better use the default parameters, they will ensure you a good balance between file size and image quality basically.



Step 4: Convert H.265 4K video for Xbox One/360

The built-in editing function provided by H.265 to Xbox Video Converter is something worth trying. To trim the video, add artistic effects, adjust audio, add watermark, customize video parameters and so on. You can get the work done splendidly. Of course, if you don’t think it’s a necessary to do, you can skip it and move onto the next step directly.

Step 5: Press the “Convert” button on the bottom-right corner of this H.265/HEVC to Xbox One Video Converter to start performing video conversion.
