How to EASILY convert those damned .TS files
-
I have no idea WHY the .TS format is being used, other than perhaps it is non-proprietary and they don't have to pay any licensing fees for using it.
Anyway, very few video viewers or editors are compatible with the .TS format.
The easiest way to convert them is to install the FREE HANDBRAKE utility. The settings I use are FAST 480p 30
Going over 720p is just making a bigger file size for no good reason.The result is an MP4 file.

A TS file, short for Transport Stream, is a standard format for transmitting and storing audio, video, and data.
This format is widely utilized in broadcast systems such as DVB and ATSC because it maintains quality while being streamed or transmitted over unreliable media.TS and MP4 are almost exactly the same, with the exception that MP4 files have an index at the beginning and TS files do not.
If you have a TS file stored on a DVD or Blu-Ray disc, you can simply play the disc with a DVD or Blu-Ray player.There are many ways to covert TS to MP4 files and other format ...

I use Wondershare UniConverter 15 to make them into MKV for Plex, but any video converter should do.

@raphjd I am not crazy about MKV files. I must confess that I don't know what PLEX is. What is that good for?
-
@raphjd Looks like PLEX is a paid service for streaming content from one's own cumputer. I was planning on using OBS with Discord for free to do this.
OBS makes the video on your own computer into a virtual webcam that can be used with Discord to stream the video online. So far, I have gotten this to work with the VIDEO, but not the AUDIO (not sure why)

I use Plex on my NAS so I can watch videos around my house and when I'm away from home.

@john32123666 I just got Zoom Installed (the cough cough "free" version). It looks good, but I don't see all the functionality that PotPlayer has yet. I literally just installed in 10 minutes ago.

@john32123666 the one thing I love about PotPlayer is it's playlist. Sometimes torrents have several dozen tiny mp4 files. The potplayer playlist allows you to quickly advance through them without stopping and starting. It's like flipping pages of a book. Maybe Zoom does that also?
Just today, I was flipping through some Onlyfans shit of a performer who had over 100 worthless videos... I flipped through them, and found ONE good one!
