About the formats
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.
AAC audio
AAC is the successor to MP3, offering better sound at the same bitrate. It is the standard for streaming services, YouTube and Apple devices.
Strengths
- Better quality than MP3 at equal size
- Standard for streaming platforms
- Wide modern-device support
Limitations
- Lossy compression
- Slightly less universal than MP3
- No lossless mode
Best for: Streaming and modern playback where quality-per-byte beats raw compatibility.
