NorfolkNog Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I wonder if any of you technical experts can help? I took a number of time lapse videos on our recent trip. However the camcorder has stored them as MOV MTS files and I cannot get them to play on either my computer or tablet (Windows/Android). Is there a way of converting them to say MP4 format? Also I used to use a free YouTube downloader program but it appears that this is no longer supported. Is there a similar program out there which can download and store YouTube videos? Any help would be gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 There is something called Any Video Convertor (AVC) which was available free for Windows. Don't know if it converts from your format but probably worth a look. I have used the Mac version successfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Handbrake is free and pretty good.... https://handbrake.fr/ I have Adobe Media Encoder at work but end up using Handbrake more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 4k video downloader is good for youtube and misses out all the ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 youtube itself has a download option on videos (its under the 3 dots if its not directly visible.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think the download option is a paid upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Many thanks for the advice folks Yes, tried the YouTube option but seemed to be 30 day trial? Will try signing in too. Downloaded the 4k and that seems to work a treat and very simple to use (needs to be for me) Also downloaded the Handbrake program successfully but havn't had chance to try it yet. There seems to be all manner of programs if you Google them but I am wary about downloading them without a reccomendation hence your advice is much appreciated!

I have Handbrake installed on my PC - its a tool frequently recommended on the Adobe Premiere Elements user forum. I have used it when I accidently changed the setting on my CamCorder to Dolby 5.1 & had to use Handbrake to convert the video clips to stereo audio.
