- Simplified container structure reduces overhead
- Faster seeking and scrubbing in video players
Technical Details
Transport Stream Demuxing
Processes 188-byte TS packets with PID filtering to extract elementary streams. Handles PAT/PMT tables for program identification and supports multiple video/audio streams within single transport streams.
FLV Container Structure
Creates Adobe FLV format with proper header tags, metadata injection, and keyframe indexing. Supports Sorenson H.263, VP6, and H.264 video codecs with MP3, AAC, or PCM audio streams.
Timestamp Reconstruction
Rebuilds presentation timestamps from TS PCR values to ensure proper A/V synchronization in FLV output. Handles timestamp rollover and discontinuity indicators for seamless playback.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting TS to FLV reduce video quality?
The conversion preserves original video and audio streams when possible. Quality depends on the source material and whether re-encoding is necessary. H.264 video can often be copied directly without quality loss.
Can I convert encrypted or DRM-protected TS files?
No, encrypted or DRM-protected transport streams cannot be converted. Only unencrypted TS files with clear elementary streams can be processed and converted to FLV format.
What happens to multiple audio tracks in TS files?
FLV format supports only one audio track. During conversion, you can typically select which audio stream to include, with the primary track usually selected by default.
Are subtitles preserved when converting TS to FLV?
FLV format has limited subtitle support compared to transport streams. Embedded subtitles may be lost during conversion, so consider extracting them separately if needed.
Why would I choose FLV over other formats like MP4?
FLV is ideal for legacy Flash applications, specific streaming setups, or systems that explicitly require this format. For general use, MP4 offers better compatibility and features.
Can I convert live TS streams directly to FLV?
The conversion process works with complete files rather than live streams. You’ll need to record the transport stream first, then convert the saved file to FLV format.
What’s the typical file size difference between TS and FLV?
FLV files are typically 10-20% smaller than TS files due to reduced container overhead. The exact size depends on the content and whether video re-encoding is required during conversion.
Do converted FLV files work with modern web browsers?
Modern browsers have dropped Flash support, so FLV files require specific players or browser extensions. Consider MP4 format for better web compatibility unless you specifically need FLV.
