About the formats
MPEG transport stream

Strengths

- 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.

Strengths
- Plays almost everywhere
- Great quality-to-size ratio
- Ideal for streaming and social media
Limitations
- Lossy compression
- Less flexible than MKV for multiple tracks
- Older codecs can look dated
Best for: Sharing, streaming and uploading video anywhere with maximum compatibility.
