The WebAssembly engine uses identical codec libraries. Fixed 188-byte packets with error correction capabilities Nikon Electronic Format with 12-bit or 14-bit color depth These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion.

Extracting an image from MPEG-TS Video video produces a single frame snapshot in Nikon RAW format. This is ideal for creating thumbnails, capturing specific moments from footage, or generating preview images for video content. Xonvert extracts the first frame at its original resolution.

Important: Converting from lossy TS to lossless NEF does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original TS encoding cannot be recovered.
