Generation loss — quality may degrade
TS uses lossy compression, and so does WMV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Some metadata may not survive
Your TS file may contain PSI/SI tables metadata. WMV has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
What compression artifacts to expect
WMV lossy compression can produce blockiness, smearing. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.

Full Name: TS uses MPEG Transport Stream, while WMV uses Windows Media Video. Compression: TS uses Lossy, while WMV uses Lossy. Color Depth: TS uses 8-bit, while WMV uses 8-bit.
Your TS file is decoded and re-encoded as WMV. TS uses lossy compression, and so does WMV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Common misconception: ""I'll convert to WMV and then back to TS — it'll be the same"" — in reality, each lossy conversion cycle permanently degrades quality. going ts → wmv → ts will produce a noticeably worse file than the original. always keep your source file.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.

What Happens When You Convert TS to WMV
Your TS video is transcoded — video and audio streams are decoded and re-encoded into the WMV container. This is a lossy process that takes time proportional to the video duration.
Your TS file is demuxed — video, audio, and subtitle streams are separated
The video stream is decoded frame-by-frame, then re-encoded with WMV-compatible codecs (typically H.264 for MP4)
The audio stream is decoded and re-encoded (or copied if the codec is compatible)
Subtitle and chapter data is preserved where the target supports it
Streams are muxed into the WMV container and the file is saved

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TS to WMV conversion free?
Yes. CocoConvert offers free TS to WMV conversion with generous daily limits — 25 minutes of processing time and up to 5 files per hour (250 MB each). Pro plans remove these limits.
How fast is TS to WMV conversion?
Most files convert in 2–10 seconds depending on size. Large video files may take 30 seconds. Batch jobs process in parallel for maximum speed.
What happens to my files after conversion?
Your uploaded TS file and the converted WMV file are both automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. They are never shared, sold, or analysed.
Does converting TS to WMV lose quality?
TS uses lossy compression, and so does WMV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Can I convert WMV back to TS?
Yes, CocoConvert supports WMV to TS conversion as well. However, if the original conversion involved lossy compression, converting back won't recover the lost data.
