What is TS?

TS (Transport Stream) is a video and audio container format designed for the efficient transmission of multimedia content over networks. It is commonly used for broadcasting and streaming applications, such as TV broadcasts, DVDs, and streaming services. TS files are designed to handle video data in a way that minimizes data loss and ensures synchronization between video, audio, and other multimedia streams. TS files often use MPEG-2 or H.264 video codecs and AAC audio codecs, but the file format is not as flexible as others like MKV or MP4, particularly for offline playback.

What is MKV?

MKV (Matroska Video) is a flexible, open-source multimedia container format that can hold multiple video, audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks in a single file. It supports high-quality video and audio, making it ideal for HD content. Unlike other formats, MKV is not compressed, allowing better preservation of media quality. It is widely used for streaming, downloading, and storing movies, TV shows, and online videos. MKV is compatible with various media players, including VLC and MPC-HC.
