3GA to MTS

3GA is a 3GPP audio file created in 1998. It was created by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project. It is used mainly on mobile devices in order to record, play and transmit audio data. 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) is a consortium that develops specifications for mobile telephony. The format resembles 3GP files, however, it includes only audio data. In most cases, 3GA files are used by mobile phones in order to record and transmit audio data. For example, this is how audio is recorded in Samsung Galaxy phones. The .3GA file extension can be changed to .3GP, which is widespread. Everything is supported by many programs. The 3GA format uses an adaptive coding audio codec with variable speed (AMR, AMR-NB, GSM-AMR). The development of this codec was done in order to compress encoded speech signals using adaptive modulation. In 1999, the 3GPP consortium adopted the Adaptive Variable Rate Coding (AMR) standard. Currently, it is used by GSM and UMTS communication systems. It is this format for speech recording that has found wide application on mobile devices. We note at the same time that it is not possible to play such files very often on certain devices.

MTS is a video file format needed to play high resolution videos. Such files require AVCHD technology. This format supports 720p resolution and 1080i resolution. Files with the MTS extension are opened using applications installed on Panasonic and Sony high-resolution camcorders. Company data and developed this format. They are the holders of a general patent for the use of the extension. Appliances from Canon and Hitachi also apply this format. MTS is a type of video file that is popular. He found application in the Blu-ray Disc MPEG-2 Transport System. This is an advanced version of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream format for DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, solid state drives or hard drives. Currently used in most modern camcorders. It will not be a mistake to say that this is an analogue of high quality Full HD video standard. The use of the MTS format can be explained by the fact that, as a rule, cameras record on a removable SDHC memory card, and not on the internal memory of the device, which usually does not happen. This approach provided an opportunity to simplify the design of devices and significantly reduce their size.
