TS vs AVI Format Comparison

Aspect TS (Source Format) AVI (Target Format)
Format Overview
TS
MPEG Transport Stream

Container for broadcasting and streaming, optimized for real-time transmission.

Broadcast
AVI
Audio Video Interleave

Microsoft’s legacy container format for synchronous audio-video playback.

Legacy
Container/Codecs

Supports MPEG-2, H.264, H.265 with AAC, AC-3 audio; packetized for transport.

Supports DivX, Xvid, MJPEG video and MP3, PCM audio; simple RIFF-based structure.

Compression

Efficient packetization for streaming; moderate compression ratios.

Varies by codec; often less efficient compared to modern containers.

Quality

Reliable SD/HD delivery depending on codec; tuned for continuity.

Quality depends on chosen codec (e.g., DivX offers DVD-like quality).

File Size

Comparable to MPG with transport overhead; 8–200 MB per minute.

Varies widely (10–150 MB per minute) depending on codec and bitrate.

Compatibility

Supported by digital TV, set-top boxes; limited desktop playback without tools.

Broad support on Windows; requires codecs on other platforms.

Streaming Support

Designed for broadcast/IPTV with error correction.

Not ideal for streaming; often used for file playback.

Why Convert TS to AVI?

Converting TS to AVI allows playback on legacy Windows applications and simplifies file-based workflows, providing broad support for DivX/Xvid codecs.

Our tool transmuxes and re-encodes your TS streams into the AVI container, ensuring compatibility with older media players and editing suites.

AVI is ideal for users requiring offline playback in Windows environments or working with legacy video toolchains.
