About the formats
TS
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.
M4A
M4A (AAC) audio
M4A holds AAC audio, the default for Apple Music and iTunes. It generally sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate and is well supported on modern devices.
Strengths
- Better quality than MP3 at equal size
- Default on Apple platforms
- Efficient, modern codec
Limitations
- Slightly less universal than MP3
- Lossy compression
- Occasional legacy-player issues
Best for: High-quality music and voice on Apple devices and modern apps.
