How to convert TS to 3G2
- Add your .TS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .3G2 in a few seconds.
- Download your new .3G2 file.
What to expect
- This is a full re-encode, not a remux, so both video and audio are compressed again and some quality is lost.
- 3G2 targets low-bandwidth mobile codecs, so high-resolution source detail may be reduced.
- Extra tracks in a broadcast TS (multiple audio streams, subtitles, teletext) are typically dropped.
Frequently asked questions
Will quality drop converting TS to 3G2?
Usually yes. 3G2 targets old CDMA mobile phones and uses low-bitrate mobile codecs, so the video is re-encoded and often reduced in resolution, giving lower quality than the source TS.
Why convert a TS to 3G2?
3G2 is the 3GPP2 container built for legacy CDMA handsets, so converting makes footage playable on those older phones and apps that expect that format.
What plays a 3G2 file?
3G2 is a 3GPP2 standard that VLC and most desktop players open, and older CDMA phones play it natively.
Why is the 3G2 so much smaller than the TS?
It uses heavy compression and often a reduced resolution aimed at low-bandwidth mobile playback, and that smaller size comes from discarding video detail in a lossy re-encode.
