Comparativa de ventajas

BMP Ventajas

Dead-simple format — trivially easy to read and write.
Lossless and uncompressed — perfect bit-exact pixel storage.
Universally supported in Windows applications since 1985.
Supports 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit color depths.

MTS Ventajas

Native format for every AVCHD camcorder since 2006.
H.264 compression — small files for high-def quality.
Direct compatibility with iMovie, Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut.
Carries Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on flagship camcorders.

Limitaciones

BMP Limitaciones

Enormous file sizes — no meaningful compression in typical use.
Not a web format — browsers support it but nobody serves BMPs over HTTP.
No metadata support (no EXIF, no ICC profile in practice).
Multiple header versions mean "a BMP" is ambiguous — parsers must handle several variants.

MTS Limitaciones

Slow to decode — editors typically transcode for editing.
Proprietary folder-structure conventions complicate direct import.
Largely legacy as smartphones replaced dedicated camcorders.
192-byte packet format adds overhead vs plain TS.
