About the formats
MPEG video
MPG (MPEG-1/2) is a classic video format behind VCDs, DVDs and broadcast. It is widely playable but uses older compression that yields larger files than modern codecs.
Strengths
- Very broad player support
- Reliable, well-understood format
- Good for DVD/broadcast
Limitations
- Larger files than H.264
- Dated compression
- Not ideal for the web
Best for: DVD and legacy video workflows — converted to MP4 for 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.
