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.
Flash video
FLV is the old Flash video container. Once dominant for web streaming, it is now obsolete and almost always needs converting to a modern format like MP4.
Strengths
- Small files for its era
- Plays in legacy Flash players
- Common in old web archives
Limitations
- Obsolete — Flash is discontinued
- No support on modern devices
- Lower quality than modern codecs
Best for: Rescuing old Flash video by converting it to MP4 or WebM.
