How to Convert MTS/M2TS Files to H.265 on Mac

As the successor to H.264, H.265 (also known as HEVC) can deliver great video quality at 50% of file size. With that said, we can get much smaller files by encoding video with this newest compression codec H.265. For example, after shooting some AVCHD MTS footages by a Sony Handycam, we can convert the MTS to H.265 since the advanced compression method of H.265 will result in much less storage with the same quality preserved.
