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 won't my media player open the .ts file I recorded? A transport stream is written for broadcast, so many players expect a renamed or converted container before they accept it.
About FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio without losing anything: the files are typically half to two thirds the size of WAV and decode back to the exact original samples.
Music archives, CD rips and high-resolution downloads.
FLAC files are several times larger than MP3, and some older players and car stereos do not play them.
Why convert CDs to FLAC instead of MP3? The copy is bit-for-bit identical to the original, so the archive never loses quality however often it is converted later.
What changes when you convert TS to FLAC
- The soundtrack of the TS is re-encoded as FLAC at the default settings, so it is close to the original but not bit-identical.
- Only the sound is kept: the FLAC file contains the audio track of your TS, and the picture is dropped.
Settings you can change
Before you convert TS to FLAC, you can adjust: Audio codec, Rate control, Audio bitrate, Quality (VBR), Sample rate, Channels, Normalize loudness, Trim start, Trim duration, and Keep tags.

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 FLAC file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
