TS vs MPG Format Comparison

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

Container for reliable broadcast and streaming, packetized for real-time delivery.

Broadcast
MPG
MPEG-1/2 Video

Classic video format used for DVD, VCD, and broadcast applications with MPEG-1/2 compression.

Legacy
Container/Codecs

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

Uses MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video compression with MP2 or MP3 audio; established broadcast standard.

Compression

Packetized delivery, moderate compression suited for streaming.

Moderate compression efficiency for DVD-quality and broadcast transmission.

Quality

Quality up to HD depending on codec and bitrate.

Good up to SD (720×480) for standard definition playback.

File Size

Comparable to MPEG-TS, around 8–200 MB per minute.

Moderate to large (5–100 MB per minute) depending on bitrate.

Compatibility

Native support in set-top boxes and broadcast equipment; desktop via players.

Wide compatibility with DVD players, media centers, and desktop applications.

Streaming Support

Designed for IPTV and live broadcast with error correction.

Good streaming support for broadcast and DVD-quality over broadband.
