Convert TS recordings from TV tuners, IPTV and cameras to MP4 for easy playback and editing. Drop a .ts file below and the output is already set to MP4.
1
Drag and drop your .ts file onto the box above, or click Choose Files. The request is already filled in: “Convert this to MP4”.

The AI assistant uses sensible defaults. To choose the resolution, frame rate or bitrate yourself, say so in the request, for example “Convert this to MP4 in 720p”.

The assistant opens with your file and converts it on your own device; the file itself is never uploaded. When the MP4 file is ready, click Save. Prefer to set everything by hand, or batch-convert several files into a ZIP? The classic converter is one click away on this page.
Transport-stream files from DVB tuners, satellite receivers, IPTV captures and some camcorders play poorly on phones and in editors, and their seeking is unreliable. Converting TS to MP4 re-encodes the H.264 video and audio into a container that every player and editor handles smoothly.
Keeping the source codec and bitrate (the default) preserves the picture; choose AAC audio if the original is AC3 and you need it to play on a phone.
TS (MPEG Transport Stream): TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is the broadcast and streaming container used by digital TV, Blu-ray and HLS segments. It is resilient to data loss but awkward to edit or share. It is best for broadcast capture, HLS streams and set-top boxes.
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14): MP4 is the most widely supported video container in the world. It usually carries H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio, plays on every phone, browser, TV and editing app, and is the safest choice for sharing. It is best for sharing, social media, web playback and mobile devices.
In short: keep TS when the priority is broadcast capture, HLS streams and set-top boxes, and switch to MP4 when the file is headed for sharing, social media, web playback and mobile devices. Need a different target? The full Video Converter supports every format listed below.
Not bit-for-bit: the video is re-encoded, but with the source codec and bitrate kept the MP4 looks the same as the recording.
Files with H.264 or HEVC video convert; MPEG-2 and VC-1 streams found on some discs are not supported in the browser.
Yes. Converting TS to MP4 on Convertor.video is free, with no watermark and no sign-up. The AI assistant runs on a free daily allowance of assistant credits; the classic converter on this page has no daily limit at all.
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using WebCodecs and FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your .ts file is read and converted on your own device and never uploaded, which keeps private recordings private and means there is no waiting in an upload queue. The AI assistant only sees what you type and basic facts about the file: its name, format, duration and size.
There is no plan or account limit, but the converter loads the whole TS file into your browser's memory, so about 2 GB per file is the practical ceiling; larger files may fail to open. Long or high-resolution files also take longer, especially on phones.
Yes. Ask the AI assistant for a resolution, frame rate or bitrate in your request. Audio and subtitle track selection, the codec list and every other setting are in the classic converter, one click away on this page.
The video is re-encoded into MP4. Keep the source codec, resolution and bitrate (the defaults) and an ordinary 8-bit video is visually the same as your TS, while a 10-bit, HDR or full-color (4:2:2 or 4:4:4) source can lose some color detail. Lowering the bitrate or resolution is what reduces quality, and you control that trade-off by asking for it (or in the classic converter's settings).
It is built and tested on current desktop Chrome and Edge, which are also fastest because they expose hardware-accelerated WebCodecs video decoders. Recent Firefox and Safari releases support the same web APIs; if a file fails there, try Chrome or Edge.
