Add your TS file
Drop one or more .ts files onto the converter above, or browse for them. They load into browser memory only — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size-based pricing and no server queue.
TS to MPEG
Pulling the soundtrack out of a .ts video into .mpeg audio keeps what you can hear and drops the picture entirely. Free, private, and validated — the file never leaves your browser.

Pulling the soundtrack out of a .ts video into .mpeg audio keeps what you can hear and drops the picture entirely. A .ts file is an MPEG transport stream, the packetized format built to carry television through unreliable channels like antennas, satellites, and cable. DVR recordings, IPTV captures, and HLS streaming segments all use .ts, making it one of the most common raw broadcast formats people encounter.
An .mpeg file holds an MPEG program stream: video and audio multiplexed together using the original MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 standards. These files come from Video CDs, DVD-authoring workflows, and older capture hardware, and they remain readable by virtually every conversion tool. For this route the practical draw is universally decodable, with all underlying patents expired and simple, robust structure that tools have parsed for thirty years — balanced against mPEG-1 and MPEG-2 need roughly twice the bitrate of H.264 for comparable quality, which is worth knowing before you commit a large batch.
Why convert TS to MPEG?
The usual reason to take .mpeg audio out of a .ts file is that only the sound matters — a talk, interview, song, or podcast segment. Keeping the video stream would waste storage, and a dedicated audio file is easier to trim, tag, and play. On the source side, packet overhead runs several percent above an equivalent MP4; on the target side, the payoff is universally decodable, with all underlying patents expired, which is exactly what you want for handling digitized VHS or Video CD content.
TS vs MPEG at a glance
| Aspect | MPEG transport stream (.ts) | MPEG video (.mpeg) |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Container — quality depends on the codecs and settings inside | Container — quality depends on the codecs and settings inside |
| How it stores data | fixed 188-byte packets with sync bytes and continuity counters allow receivers to detect and skip corrupted data | program streams were engineered for reliable storage media, in contrast to the error-hardened transport stream used for broadcast |
| Strongest at | saving recordings from DVRs and set-top boxes | handling digitized VHS or Video CD content |
| Weak spot | packet overhead runs several percent above an equivalent MP4 | mPEG-1 and MPEG-2 need roughly twice the bitrate of H.264 for comparable quality |
| Metadata | broadcast service tables (SDT/EIT) can carry channel names and program-guide data, but there is no field for user tagging | the program stream carries essentially no descriptive metadata; the specification predates any notion of embedded titles or tags |
Pick MPEG as the output
Select .mpeg in the output menu next to each file. The menu only offers targets this engine can genuinely produce, so if MPEG is selectable, the route is real and validated.
Convert on your device
Press Convert. A WebAssembly FFmpeg build demuxes the audio track and re-encodes it locally; the video stream is simply discarded.
Verify and download
Each result is signature-checked before the download unlocks, so a failed encode can never masquerade as a valid MPEG file. Outputs keep the original filename with the .mpeg extension.
TS to MPEG questions, answered
Will converting TS to MPEG lose quality?
Since ts is container-oriented and mpeg is container-oriented, the conversion preserves the source content exactly as stored; no additional compression pass is applied beyond what .mpeg itself requires.
Is it private to convert TS files here?
Yes — the .ts file is processed inside your browser tab and never uploaded. A WebAssembly FFmpeg build demuxes the audio track and re-encodes it locally; the video stream is simply discarded. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.
Where will the MPEG file work?
Desktop players on every operating system decode MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 program streams, and no licensing barriers remain. Browsers never adopted the format for the HTML5 video element, so web delivery requires conversion first.
Will the MPEG file be bigger or smaller than my TS?
Much smaller — the video stream is usually 80–95% of a .ts file's weight, and it is discarded entirely. The remaining audio is re-encoded at the bitrate implied by your quality setting.
What happens to the metadata in my TS file?
This converter strips container metadata deliberately (the FFmpeg command runs with metadata mapping disabled) so exported files do not leak recording details. In the source, broadcast service tables (SDT/EIT) can carry channel names and program-guide data, but there is no field for user tagging; none of it is transmitted anywhere because the file never leaves your browser.
Can I convert MPEG back to TS?
Yes — the reverse route exists as a separate tool. Bear in mind that round-tripping .ts → .mpeg → .ts is not a perfect undo when any lossy step is involved; keep your original if fidelity matters.
