Frequently Asked Questions

MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG-TS or .ts) is a container format designed for broadcasting and streaming where data loss is possible. It's used for digital TV broadcasting (DVB, ATSC), IPTV streaming, satellite TV, cable systems, and DVR recordings. Unlike MP4 which breaks if corrupted, TS includes error correction and can recover from transmission errors.

TS is designed for streaming and broadcast reliability, not file storage. Use TS when: creating content for IPTV systems, working with broadcast equipment, generating HLS streaming segments, or recording from TV tuners. Use MP4 for file storage, sharing, and web video embedding. TS files can start playing immediately while streaming, unlike MP4 which needs the full file first.

HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) uses TS as its building blocks. When creating HLS streams, video is split into small .ts files (typically 2-10 seconds each) referenced by an M3U8 playlist. This tool creates complete TS files, not segmented HLS chunks, but the output can be used with HLS tools.

TS is used by: digital TV broadcasts (DVB in Europe, ATSC in North America, ISDB in Japan), cable TV systems, satellite receivers, IPTV services like Verizon FiOS, DVR/PVR recordings, Blu-ray discs (M2TS variant), professional broadcast equipment, and streaming platforms using HLS.

For broadcast quality, choose 'High Quality' (recommended) which balances excellent quality with reasonable bitrates. 'Best Quality' is for professional production or archival. 'Smaller File' works well for IPTV where bandwidth is limited. 'Smallest File' is suitable for low-bitrate streaming or preview content.

Yes, most desktop media players support TS files: VLC, mpv, MPC-HC, PotPlayer, and Windows Media Player (with codecs). Phones can play TS with VLC mobile app. However, browsers can't play TS files directly in HTML5 video tags - you need HLS.js or similar players. For web embedding, use MP4 or WebM instead.

This tool uses H.264 video with AAC audio, which is the modern standard for IPTV and digital broadcasting. Older broadcast systems used MPEG-2 video with MP2/AC3 audio, but H.264 is now standard for most applications due to better compression efficiency.

TS includes packet headers with continuity counters, program association tables (PAT), and program map tables (PMT) that help receivers recover from errors. If packets are lost during transmission, the stream can continue playing with minimal disruption. MP4 lacks this error resilience and would fail completely with corrupted data.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device, making this tool completely private and secure. You can use it offline after the page loads.

TS files work with HLS-compatible players (HLS.js, Video.js) but aren't supported in HTML5 video tags. For direct web playback, use MP4 or WebM. TS is better suited for dedicated streaming infrastructure (IPTV, CDN with HLS) rather than simple web embedding. To use on the web, you'd typically segment the TS file and create an M3U8 playlist.
