TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a format designed for broadcasting and IPTV. It's used in digital television, satellite broadcasts, and live streaming. TS files are commonly generated by TV tuners, PVRs (personal video recorders), and streaming capture tools. They're often large and contain broadcast metadata that isn't needed for personal viewing.
TS files tend to be large compared to optimized MP4. Converting from TS to MP4 H.264 typically reduces file size by 40-80% while maintaining excellent visual quality. The resulting MP4 also plays on every device and platform without compatibility issues.
TS was developed by ISO/MPEG in 1995. It uses the MPEG Transport Stream container and typically contains MPEG-2/H.264/H.265 encoded video. Browser support is limited (hls segments), and mobile support is via hls players. For streaming, TS offers yes, broadcast/iptv capabilities.
Keep TS if you're doing professional editing and need the original codec quality. Convert to MP4 when: you need to share the video online, upload to social media, send via email, or reduce storage usage. For 99% of sharing and consumption purposes, MP4 is the better format.

When you upload a TS file, SquishVideo first analyzes the video stream to understand its codec, resolution, framerate, and bitrate profile. We then transcode the video to H.264 MP4 using optimized encoding parameters. The entire process preserves audio quality (re-encoded to AAC) and maintains the original resolution unless a lower resolution would provide a better quality-to-size ratio.
TS files typically come from: TV tuners, PVR recordings, IPTV captures, satellite receiver recordings, and HLS stream downloads.
