- Stores high-quality video with various codecs including DivX, Xvid, and H.264
- Not suitable for streaming applications or broadcast systems
- Lacks transport stream features required for digital television
- Simple container structure makes it easy to extract and process media streams
TS Format
- MPEG transport stream format designed specifically for broadcasting and streaming
- Robust error correction and recovery capabilities for transmission over unreliable networks
- Native support in digital television systems, set-top boxes, and streaming servers
- Packet-based structure allows for real-time streaming and multiplexing
- Industry standard for IPTV, digital TV broadcasting, and professional streaming applications
Technical Details
Stream Multiplexing
The conversion process takes elementary streams from the AVI container and multiplexes them into 188-byte transport packets with proper Program Association Table (PAT) and Program Map Table (PMT) structures for broadcast compatibility.
Timing and Synchronization
Transport streams include Presentation Time Stamps (PTS) and Decoding Time Stamps (DTS) to ensure proper audio-video synchronization during playback on various devices and broadcasting systems.
Packet Structure
TS format uses fixed-length packets with headers containing sync bytes, packet identifiers (PIDs), and continuity counters, making it ideal for transmission over networks with potential packet loss or corruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AVI and TS video formats?
AVI is a multimedia container format designed for storing video and audio data, while TS (Transport Stream) is a packet-based format specifically designed for broadcasting and streaming. TS includes error correction, multiplexing capabilities, and is optimized for transmission over networks.
Will converting AVI to TS reduce video quality?
The conversion process itself doesn’t reduce quality if you maintain the same codec and bitrate settings. However, if re-encoding is required due to codec compatibility, some quality loss may occur. Convertify preserves original quality whenever possible.
Can I convert multiple AVI files to TS format simultaneously?
Yes, Convertify supports batch processing that allows you to convert multiple AVI files to TS format at once, saving time when working with large video collections or production workflows.
What video codecs are supported when converting AVI to TS?
Transport streams typically support MPEG-2, H.264 (AVC), and H.265 (HEVC) video codecs. If your AVI contains other codecs like DivX or Xvid, the conversion process will re-encode the video to a TS-compatible codec.
Are the converted TS files compatible with broadcasting equipment?
Yes, the TS files generated follow MPEG-2 transport stream standards and are compatible with professional broadcasting equipment, set-top boxes, and digital television systems that support standard transport stream formats.
How large are TS files compared to the original AVI files?
TS file sizes depend on the video codec, bitrate, and whether re-encoding occurs. Transport streams include additional overhead for packet headers and multiplexing data, so files may be slightly larger than the original AVI, especially for shorter videos.
Can I preserve audio tracks and subtitles during AVI to TS conversion?
Yes, transport streams support multiple audio tracks and subtitle streams. The conversion process can preserve existing audio tracks and subtitles from your AVI file, though subtitle formats may need to be converted to TS-compatible standards.
Do I need an internet connection to convert AVI files to TS format?
No, Convertify operates completely offline. All conversion processing happens locally on your Windows computer, ensuring your video files remain private and secure without requiring any internet connection.
