Understanding FLV and TS Formats

Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.

Source Format

Flash Video

video/x-flv

FLV (Flash Video) is a container format that was used to deliver video content over the internet via Adobe Flash Player. It typically contains video encoded with Sorenson Spark or VP6 codecs and audio in MP3 or AAC format. FLV was once the dominant web video format but became obsolete after major browsers discontinued Flash Player support in 2020.

Advantages

  • Compact file sizes with acceptable streaming quality
  • Simple container structure that is quick to parse
  • Large existing archive of legacy web video content

Limitations

  • Obsolete format since Adobe Flash Player reached end-of-life in 2020
  • No modern browser supports FLV playback without third-party tools
  • Limited codec support compared to modern containers like MP4

Common Uses

  • Legacy web video archives and content migration
  • Converting old Flash-based video content to modern formats
  • Historical video content from early streaming platforms

Target Format

MPEG Transport Stream

video/mp2t

TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a container format designed for broadcasting and streaming MPEG video over unreliable or lossy media. It divides content into small fixed-size packets (188 bytes) with error correction capabilities, allowing decoders to resynchronize after transmission errors. TS is the standard container for digital television broadcasting, Blu-ray discs, and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS).

Advantages

  • Robust error recovery designed for unreliable transmission channels
  • Standard format for digital TV broadcasting and Blu-ray discs
  • Supports live streaming with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol

Limitations

  • Packet overhead results in slightly larger file sizes than MP4
  • Not ideal for local file storage where error resilience is unnecessary
  • Less convenient for editing compared to MP4 or MKV containers

Common Uses

  • Digital television broadcasting (DVB, ATSC, ISDB)
  • HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) video segments
  • Blu-ray disc video storage
