About the formats
WMV
Windows Media Video
WMV is Microsoft’s video format, once common on Windows for streaming and playback. It compresses well but is dated and poorly supported outside Windows.
Strengths

- Weak support on Mac, mobile and web
- Dated codec
- Often needs converting
Best for: Legacy Windows video — converted to MP4 for modern sharing.
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.
