Best MKV Lossless Conversion to Play onto Western Digital Media Player Plus

Lossless MKV Converter for Mac Lion and Windows 7-Final Mate
My understanding on Conversion and Rewrapping HD videos to MKV

Do you feel puzzled when there are some sayings about AVCHD to MKV conversion with lossless quality? Actually, it may indicate two kinds of conditions. One is to convert the MTS/M2TS files to MKV with re-encoding, which may take a long time for transcoding. There is another method to get the format change in seconds, i.e. to remux AVCHD to MKV with rewrapping. While there are some friends asking me about the remuxing camcorder videos to MKV, here I would like to share with you my understandings on the video conversion and rewrapping.

With the video conversion, there are video conversion tools on Windows and Mac. Here I would like to talk about AVCHD to MKV lossless conversion with rewrapping.

Benefits of remuxing videos to MKV:
1. Super fast speed, and just a few seconds needed.
2. Retain raw quality without transcoding.
3. Keep file in small size.

Why rewrap camcorder videos to MKV?
Even though some players are supposed to play AVCHD camcorder files in .mts or .m2ts format, some may also face problem when playing the MTS/M2TS files. For example, the Western Digital Live Plus, Eminent HD media player cannot play some AVCHD files.
