About MPEG
MPEG files (.mpg, .mpeg) are MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program streams, the standards behind Video CD and DVD video.
Older camcorders, DVD-era video files and broadcast archives.
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compress far less efficiently than H.264, so the files are large for their quality.
Convert MPEG to TS online free, no account required — TS is the broadcast and Blu-ray transport stream format.
Change MPEG to TS without losing quality — convert MPEG to TS free in your browser.
Why does my MPEG video look soft on a modern screen? MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 were designed for VCD and DVD resolution, so upscaling a 576-line picture to 4K shows every limitation of the era.
About MPEG Transport Stream (TS)
An MPEG transport stream (TS, MTS, M2TS) is the container used for digital TV broadcasting and Blu-ray. It is built from small fixed-size packets that tolerate transmission errors.
TV recordings, AVCHD camcorder files (.mts), Blu-ray discs (.m2ts) and HLS streaming segments.
The packet structure adds overhead, and many editors and phones do not open TS files directly.
Why convert video to MPEG TS? Broadcast workflows and set-top boxes expect the transport stream, which also tolerates interrupted recordings gracefully.
What changes when you convert MPEG to TS
- The MPEG is re-encoded into TS at the default quality settings, so the result looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
Settings you can change
Before you convert MPEG to TS, you can adjust: Video codec, Rate control, Quality (CRF), Video bitrate, Resolution, Width, Height, Scale fit, Frame rate, Encoder preset, Audio codec, Audio bitrate, Trim start, Trim duration, and Remove metadata.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted TS file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.

How long is my converted TS file kept?
The TS file you convert from MPEG is kept for 2 hours, then deleted automatically.
When I convert MPEG to TS, is the video re-encoded?
The MPEG is re-encoded into TS at the default quality settings, so the result looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
Will converting MPEG to TS change my original file?
