MPEG-TS Video (by MPEG/ISO), introduced in 1995 is mpeg transport stream used in broadcasting and streaming. This is one of the most frequently used conversions on Xonvert, with 235 daily conversions on average. This conversion is instant for most file sizes. Large files may take a few extra seconds of processing.
Advantages of TS over MTS
There are strong reasons to convert MTS to TS:
Eco-friendly: Smaller MPEG-TS Video files mean less bandwidth consumption and lower energy usage during file transfers — a small but meaningful environmental benefit.
Client requirements: Clients, vendors, or regulatory bodies often specify MPEG-TS Video as the required delivery format for video content.
Cloud storage efficiency: MPEG-TS Video's smaller file size means lower cloud storage costs — important for large collections.
Workflow integration: When your pipeline requires MPEG-TS Video input, converting from MTS Video is the most reliable bridge between the two environments.
Universal viewer support: Nearly every operating system includes a built-in viewer for MPEG-TS Video, eliminating the need for third-party applications.

MTS to TS: Quality Comparison
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the MPEG-TS Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in MPEG-TS Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality MTS Video input produces an excellent MPEG-TS Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. MTS Video encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. MPEG-TS Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Video format conversion from MTS Video to MPEG-TS Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.
Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.

Why choose TS over other formats?▼
MPEG-TS Video offers error-resilient streaming format for broadcast television. It's widely used for digital television broadcast, IPTV and live streaming, making it an excellent choice for most video needs.
Will my MTS file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original MTS file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate TS copy — your source file remains untouched.
What video quality settings should I use?▼
For archival, use High quality. For social media sharing, Medium provides great results at smaller file sizes. Adjust bitrate for fine control.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original MTS file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new TS copy is created.
What if my MTS file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
