CRF sets up a constant compression ratio in a way that every frame gets the number of bits needed to achieve a certain perceptual quality.
Set an output video resolution by selecting one from the predefined set of the most popular resolutions or manually entering a custom resolution.
This option controls the number of frames per second. It changes the playback smoothness only, not the output video duration or video playback speed.

ts

TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a standard container format specified as part of the MPEG-2 systems layer (ISO/IEC 13818-1), standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group in 1995. Transport streams are designed for communication and storage environments where data loss or corruption is possible, such as broadcast television, satellite transmission, and network streaming. The format divides content into fixed-size 188-byte packets, each carrying a 4-byte header with synchronization, error indication, and stream identification information. This packet structure enables receivers to rapidly resynchronize after signal interruptions, a critical capability for real-time broadcast delivery that distinguishes transport streams from program streams designed for reliable storage media. TS can multiplex multiple programs into a single stream, with Program Specific Information (PSI) tables describing the structure and content of each program. The format supports virtually any audio and video codec, though it most commonly carries MPEG-2 video, H.264, or HEVC alongside AAC, AC-3, or MPEG audio. TS is the backbone of digital television delivery worldwide, used by DVB, ATSC, and ISDB broadcasting standards as well as IPTV and OTT streaming services utilizing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). Resilience, standardized structure, and broad codec support make TS equally at home in live broadcast chains and file-based recording workflows.

hevc

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also designated as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard developed jointly by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group. Approved in January 2013, HEVC was designed as the successor to H.264/AVC with the primary goal of doubling the compression efficiency — achieving equivalent visual quality at roughly half the bit rate. The standard accomplishes this through larger coding tree units of up to 64x64 pixels, more sophisticated motion prediction with 35 directional intra modes, advanced sample adaptive offset filtering, and parallel processing tools including tiles and wavefront parallel processing. HEVC supports resolutions from 320x240 up to 8192x4320 (8K UHD), making it future-proof for emerging display technologies. The codec is widely adopted in broadcasting, where it enables efficient delivery of 4K and HDR content over bandwidth-constrained channels, as well as in video conferencing and surveillance applications. Apple adopted HEVC as the default recording format for iOS devices beginning with iOS 11, dramatically expanding its consumer reach. Despite technical superiority over H.264, a complex and fragmented patent licensing landscape has driven interest in royalty-free alternatives like AV1, though HEVC remains deeply embedded in broadcast infrastructure and consumer electronics worldwide.

How to convert TS to HEVC

1

Select or drag&drop TS video to convert it to the HEVC format from your computer, iPhone or Android. Moreover, it is possible to choose it from your Google Drive or Dropbox account.

2

Now your video is uploaded and you can start the TS to HEVC conversion. If it is needed, change the output format to one of the 37 video formats supported. After that, you can add more videos for batch conversion.

3

If you want, you can customize such settings as resolution, quality, aspect ratio and others by clicking the gear icon. Apply them to all the video files if necessary and click the button "Convert" to process.

4

Once your video is converted and edited, you can download it to your Mac, PC or another device. If necessary, save the file to your Dropbox or Google Drive account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert TS to HEVC?

HEVC (H.265) can halve file size compared to H.264 at the same visual quality. Converting bulky TS broadcast recordings to HEVC dramatically reduces storage needs without visible loss.

What programs can play HEVC files?

VLC, MPC-HC, most modern smart TVs, iPhones, Android devices, and streaming boxes all play HEVC natively. Windows 10 and later also include built-in HEVC support.

Does HEVC preserve the original video quality?

Yes — HEVC maintains excellent visual fidelity even at lower bitrates, making it perfect for archiving broadcast content while using a fraction of the original TS storage space.

Is HEVC encoding slow compared to other formats?

HEVC requires more processing power than H.264, but our cloud servers are optimized for this workload. You upload the TS and the heavy encoding runs entirely server-side.

Can I convert multiple TS files to HEVC at once?

Yes — upload several TS recordings and convert them all to HEVC in parallel. Each file processes independently on our servers while your device stays free.
