TS to MP4 Converter

Kept

• Recordings from digital TV, satellite or cable boxes and IPTV are read
• H.264 video with AAC audio, the combination that plays on every phone, computer, TV and browser
• The file is set up for streaming, so it starts playing before it has fully downloaded
• The original resolution and frame rate are kept
• A phone video recorded sideways or upside down is turned the right way up
• Interlaced footage, typical of DVD, camcorders and TV recordings, is de-interlaced so there are no comb lines on moving objects
• Surround sound (5.1) is kept when the source has it

Good to know

• The file must be a real MPEG transport stream. A TypeScript source file with the .ts extension is recognized and refused.
• The video is re-encoded, which is slightly lossy. Only one video track and one audio track are kept; extra audio tracks and subtitles are left out.
• A width or height that is an odd number of pixels is trimmed by one pixel, because video encoders need even sizes.
• HDR video (for example from a recent iPhone) is converted to normal SDR colors, and 10-bit video becomes 8-bit, so it plays everywhere.
• Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.
