How to convert MPG to TS
- Add your .MPG 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
- When codecs match, this is a container remux: the MPEG streams are copied into transport-stream packets and quality is preserved.
- If a codec is incompatible with TS, the affected stream is re-encoded, which is lossy.
- TS wraps data in fixed 188-byte packets; program-stream-specific navigation data from the MPG is not carried over.
Frequently asked questions
Is MPG to TS lossless?
It can be. Both are MPEG-2 System formats, so when the video and audio codecs are already compatible the streams are remuxed into the 188-byte TS packets without re-encoding, preserving the original quality. A codec mismatch forces a lossy re-encode.
Why convert MPG to TS?
TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is the container used by digital TV, PVR recordings, AVCHD and HLS streaming. Converting to TS makes the clip fit those broadcast and streaming workflows, which a program-stream MPG does not.
Where does a TS file play?
VLC media player opens TS on any operating system, and most hardware media players and TV devices handle it because it is the native digital-TV container.
Will the file size change?
On a straight remux the size stays close to the source since the compressed data is copied; only the container packaging changes. A re-encode can raise or lower the size depending on the chosen bitrate.
