Technical Details
Transport Stream Processing
TS files use MPEG-2 transport stream protocol with 188-byte packets containing multiple elementary streams. Convertify demuxes these packets to extract audio elementary streams (typically AC-3, AAC, or MP2) before converting to FLAC’s linear prediction compression.
Audio Codec Conversion
The conversion process decodes compressed audio codecs (AC-3, E-AC-3, AAC, MP2) found in TS containers to uncompressed PCM, then applies FLAC’s lossless linear predictive coding algorithm to achieve optimal compression ratios without quality loss.
Metadata Extraction
Convertify extracts Program Specific Information (PSI) and Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data from TS streams, converting relevant broadcast metadata into FLAC’s Vorbis comment tags for proper audio file identification and organization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract multiple audio tracks from a TS file?
Yes, TS transport streams often contain multiple audio tracks (different languages, commentary, etc.). Convertify can identify and extract individual audio streams, converting each to separate FLAC files while preserving their original quality and characteristics.
Will converting TS to FLAC maintain the original audio quality?
Absolutely. The conversion process extracts the audio stream and applies FLAC’s lossless compression, ensuring bit-perfect preservation of the original audio data. You’ll get identical audio quality in a more efficient, widely-compatible format.
What audio codecs in TS files are supported?
Convertify supports all common audio codecs found in TS streams including Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), AAC, MP2 (MPEG-1 Layer II), and PCM audio streams commonly used in digital broadcast transmission.
How much smaller will FLAC files be compared to extracted PCM?
FLAC typically achieves 30-50% compression compared to uncompressed PCM audio, depending on the content type. Music with complex harmonics compresses less, while speech and simple audio compresses more efficiently, all while maintaining perfect lossless quality.
Can I preserve broadcast metadata when converting to FLAC?
Yes, Convertify extracts available metadata from the TS stream’s Program Specific Information and converts it to FLAC’s Vorbis comment tags, preserving program titles, timestamps, and other broadcast information where available.
Will FLAC files play on my audio equipment?
FLAC enjoys wide support across modern audio equipment, including most dedicated audio players, smartphones, computers, and high-end audio systems. It’s particularly popular among audiophiles and professional audio applications for its lossless quality.
How long does TS to FLAC conversion typically take?
Conversion speed depends on the TS file size and audio complexity, but typically processes at 10-20x real-time speed. A 1-hour audio program usually converts in 3-6 minutes, with the process being fully offline and utilizing multiple CPU cores for optimal performance.
Can I convert TS files from different broadcast standards?
Yes, Convertify supports TS files from various broadcast standards including DVB (European), ATSC (North American), and ISDB (Japanese) digital television standards, automatically detecting and processing the audio streams regardless of the source broadcast system.
