About the formats
AVI video
AVI is a long-standing Microsoft container. It is widely readable on desktops and can store high-quality video, but its files are large and it lacks modern streaming features.
Strengths
- Broad desktop compatibility
- Simple, well-understood format
- Can hold high-quality video
Limitations
- Large file sizes
- No modern streaming features
- Weak mobile/browser support
Best for: Legacy desktop video — usually converted to MP4 for sharing and streaming.
MPEG transport stream
TS (MPEG transport stream) is the container used for broadcast and HLS streaming. It is built to be resilient and split into segments, but is awkward as a stored file.
Strengths
- Built for streaming and broadcast
- Resilient to data loss
- Segments cleanly
Limitations
- Clumsy as a single saved file
- Limited direct player support
- Often needs remuxing
Best for: Captured broadcast/HLS streams — converted to MP4 for everyday playback.
