While using your computer, you might run into a file with a .TS extension. Unlike most extensions that represent a specific kind of data, a file with “.ts” extension can be either a video file or a TypeScript code file. So, what’s the difference between them, and what’s a TS file anyway?
What Is a Transport Stream (TS) File?
The meaning of a TS file depends on what kind of content it holds. For instance, if you come across a TS file while working with videos and DVDs, then it stands for Transport Stream. These files use the MPEG-2 compression algorithm to achieve maximum efficiency and compatibility across various media types, including internet streaming and broadcasting.
