Footage copied from a Sony, Panasonic or Canon camcorder is a folder of .mts files that no editor or phone will open.
MTS is an AVCHD transport stream that already contains H.264 video, so the video can normally be copied straight into an MP4 with no re-encoding. Only the AC-3 audio typically needs converting to AAC.
Camcorders split long recordings into separate MTS files at a fixed size boundary, usually 2 or 4 GB. Converting each one individually leaves you with a set of clips that need joining, and the join has to be frame accurate or the audio clicks.
AVCHD stores clips inside a BDMV or PRIVATE folder structure with index files. Copying only the .mts files out of it breaks what the editor expects.
Not if the video stream is copied. Only the audio is re-encoded, and that is inaudible at normal bitrates.

MPEG-4 Video is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
