Frequently asked questions
Is this TS to MP4 converter free?+
Yes, with no watermark and no account. The engine runs locally in your browser, so there's no server queue limiting usage.
Is my video uploaded to a server?+
No. Orbfile uses your browser's own built-in media codecs (via the WebCodecs API and Mediabunny), so encoding happens entirely on your device.
How long will it take?+
It depends on your device and the video's length and resolution — expect roughly real-time to a few times real-time for typical clips.
Is there a maximum file size?+
There's no fixed upload limit — since everything runs on your device, the practical limit is your browser's available memory, which handles typical clips and even fairly long recordings without issue.
How do I convert TS to MP4?+
Drop your TS file into the box above — Orbfile re-encodes it to MP4 using your browser's own codecs and gives you a download link when it's done.
About TS and MP4
What is TS?
TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a broadcast- and camera-oriented format designed to stay resilient during streaming or recording interruptions.
Full TS format guide →What is MP4?
MP4 (usually carrying H.264 video) is the most widely compatible video container — it plays on essentially every phone, browser, and TV.
Full MP4 format guide →The short version: MP4 gives you maximum device and platform compatibility, which helps once you run into TS's biggest limitation: less convenient for editing or sharing than MP4. It's a natural move when your video is headed toward sharing.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file in
Drag your video onto the box above, or click it to browse — there's no account to create and no upload to wait on.
- 2
Pick your settings
The output format is already set for this page — just adjust any extra options shown, if there are any.
- 3
Download the result
Your browser processes everything locally and hands you a download link the moment it's done — nothing was ever sent to a server.
Is it private?
Everything happens locally, inside this browser tab. Your video is read from disk, processed with WebAssembly running on your own device, and handed back to you as a download — it's never transmitted anywhere, so there's nothing to intercept and nothing stored on a server.

About TS files+
TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a broadcast- and camera-oriented format designed to stay resilient during streaming or recording interruptions.
MPEG Transport Stream was designed for broadcast television, where a signal might briefly drop out or arrive slightly out of order, so the format includes built-in error correction and the ability to resynchronize mid-stream rather than failing outright. That resilience is also why many camcorders and broadcast capture cards record directly to .ts files, even though the format is less convenient than MP4 for editing or casual sharing once the footage is off the device.
How to open a TS file
Opens readily in VLC Media Player. For real editing, use DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro.
Good for
- resilient to data loss mid-stream
- common output from camcorders and broadcast equipment
Watch out for
- less convenient for editing or sharing than MP4
About MP4 files+
MP4 (usually carrying H.264 video) is the most widely compatible video container — it plays on essentially every phone, browser, and TV.
MP4 is a container format standardized under MPEG-4, meaning the file itself is really a wrapper that most often holds H.264-encoded video alongside AAC audio. That specific combination struck a balance efficient enough for streaming and broad enough to be adopted everywhere, which is why it's the format cameras, phones, editors, and social platforms converge on as a safe default. It isn't always the smallest or most efficient option available — newer codecs inside newer containers can do better — but nothing beats it for guaranteed playback.
How to open a MP4 file
Opens readily in Any web browser, Any modern phone, TV, or media player. For real editing, use Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, iMovie.
Good for
- maximum device and platform compatibility
- good compression-to-quality ratio
Watch out for
- not the smallest option available for the same visual quality
