How to convert AVI to TS
- Add your .AVI file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TS in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TS file.
What to expect
- Video and audio are re-encoded from the AVI codecs into the transport stream, a lossy change.
- TS packetization adds overhead and is built for streaming/broadcast resilience, not the smallest possible file.
- Container-level metadata and any subtitle tracks in the AVI may not carry over into the TS.
Frequently asked questions
What is a TS file and why convert AVI to it?
TS is the MPEG Transport Stream from digital TV, PVR recordings, AVCHD camcorders and HLS streaming. People convert AVI to TS for playback on TV hardware or to feed a segment-based streaming pipeline that expects transport-stream packets.Is the conversion lossy?
The AVI's DivX/Xvid video is re-encoded into the MPEG-2 or H.264 a TS carries, so yes, it is a lossy step. Quality is capped by the source AVI.
Where do TS files open?
VLC media player plays TS on any operating system. Because MPEG-2 Transport Stream is an open ISO/IEC standard, many hardware players and TV devices read it too.
Is TS robust against partial corruption?
Relatively. Transport streams use fixed 188-byte packets designed for error-prone broadcast, so a damaged TS can often still play from a later point, unlike some containers that fail outright.
