Old camcorder formats, playable again.

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is the format Sony, Panasonic, and Canon camcorders used from roughly 2006 to 2015. The video is stored as .MTS or .M2TS files inside an AVCHD folder structure on the SD card or hard drive. Modern phones, browsers, and TVs don’t natively support .MTS, which is why your files won’t play. CamcorderRescue converts them to MP4 (H.264), which plays everywhere.

Mini-DV is tape-based, so you first need to capture the footage from the camcorder over FireWire (IEEE 1394) or via a video-capture device — software like WinDV, iMovie, or OBS will save the capture as a .DV or .AVI file. Once you have that file on your computer, upload it to CamcorderRescue and convert to MP4 for permanent digital storage.

Yes. Files upload directly from your browser to our storage via signed URLs — they never sit on a third-party server in between. Both the original upload and the converted output auto-delete on a short timer; we don’t keep your footage.
