Convert a broadcast TS stream recording into an MP4, on your device.
A TS file, short for MPEG Transport Stream, is the format used for broadcasting and recording live video. It is what a lot of DVRs, TV capture cards, IPTV recorders, and some camcorders write, because the format is built to survive dropped packets during a live broadcast. That robustness makes it awkward as a normal file. Editors, phones, and upload forms often will not touch a .ts, and it can be split into several chunks. Converting to MP4 turns a broadcast recording into a clean, single file that behaves like any other video.
Using it means dropping your TS file onto the page or clicking to choose one, then starting the conversion. The tool reads the transport stream, re-encodes the video to H.264 and the audio to AAC, and wraps the result in an MP4 you can download. No account is needed and nothing is uploaded.
TS usually already carries H.264 or MPEG-2 video, but the transport-stream packaging is designed for streaming rather than for seeking and editing. Rewrapping it into MP4 with a proper index means your player can scrub through the timeline smoothly, and the tool also adds a fast-start layout so the file begins playing quickly. The re-encode takes real time and any quality change is small.
Convert whenever you want a recording to act like a normal video file, especially for editing, sharing, or storing tidily. If you are only playing the TS in VLC, which handles the format happily, you may not need to convert. The trigger is wanting to trim it, put it on a phone, or upload it somewhere that rejects transport streams.
Typical uses include tidying up DVR and TV-capture recordings, turning an IPTV or broadcast capture into an editable clip, making a recorded stream playable on a phone or tablet, and preparing footage for an upload form that only accepts MP4. Anyone who records live TV or streams to a capture card ends up with TS files that need this treatment before they behave.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so a recording, including anything personal or off-air, never leaves your device. The only network activity is the one-time media engine download of about 32 MB, cached after first use so later jobs begin without it. Your device's memory is the only real limit, since the whole job is processed locally on your hardware rather than uploaded anywhere.
Transport streams are built for live broadcast, not for seeking, so they lack the clean index that lets a player jump around. Converting to MP4 adds that index, so scrubbing and skipping become smooth in any normal player.
This tool converts one file at a time, so it does not merge segments on its own. If your recorder split the show, join the pieces first with a tool that concatenates transport streams, then convert the single combined file here.
Yes. Whether the stream inside is MPEG-2 or H.264, the tool decodes it and re-encodes to H.264 in the MP4. Older set-top-box and capture-card recordings therefore convert as readily as newer ones.
The output is written with a fast-start layout, meaning the index sits at the front of the file. That lets players and websites begin playback before the whole file has loaded, which the raw TS does not guarantee.
Yes, the audio track is re-encoded to AAC and kept in sync with the video. Some broadcasts carry multiple audio streams, and in that case the primary track is the one that ends up in the MP4.
There is no fixed cap, but a long TV recording can be several gigabytes, and the whole file is processed in your browser. On a device with limited memory, a very large capture may be slow or may run out of room.
