What changes when you convert MP4 to TS?
MP4 and TS are containers, while the video and audio codecs live inside them. Compatible streams may be copied; otherwise they are re-encoded for the selected TS settings.
- For the widest playback support, check that the selected video and audio codecs are accepted by the device or service that will receive the TS file.
- Add multiple videos and adjust the available video and audio codec settings before processing.
- Open the finished TS file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
