Generation loss — quality may degrade
FLV uses lossy compression, and so does TS. 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 FLV file may contain FLV metadata metadata. TS 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
TS lossy compression can produce codec-dependent (usually MPEG-2 blockiness). 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.
在数字内容日益丰富的今天，视频格式的转换已成为许多朋友的日常所需。FLV，作为曾经网络视频的主流格式，以其轻巧的体积和广泛的兼容性服务了大量用户。然而，随着技术发展和新的应用场景出现，我们可能需要将这些珍贵的FLV文件转换为TS格式。TS格式，以其在广播、流媒体以及高清传输方面的优势，正逐渐成为更多平台和设备的优选。无论是为了在智能电视上流畅播放，还是为了在移动设备上分享，亦或是为了更专业的编辑需求，将FLV转换为TS都能为您带来更佳的体验。我们的转换工具旨在提供一个简单、高效、可靠的解决方案，让您的视频内容焕发新生。

在中国大陆及周边地区，TS格式因其对IPTV、数字电视广播的良好支持，以及在视频监控、广电行业的广泛应用，使得FLV转TS的需求尤为常见，确保了内容的传输质量和兼容性。
About FLV to TS Conversion
FLV (introduced 2002) and TS (introduced 1995) are both video formats, but they differ in important ways. FLV (Flash Video) is a legacy streaming format — converting to MP4 is recommended for modern use. TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is used in broadcast television and is segmented for streaming.
Full Name: FLV uses Flash Video, while TS uses MPEG Transport Stream. Compression: FLV uses Lossy, while TS uses Lossy. Color Depth: FLV uses 8-bit, while TS uses 8-bit.
When you convert FLV to TS, the goal is to improve file compatibility across devices. FLV uses lossy compression, and so does TS. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.
Your FLV file is decoded and re-encoded as TS. The conversion involves 4 steps: (1) your flv file is uploaded and the format is validated, (2) the file content is decoded into its raw representation, (3) the data is re-encoded in ts format with optimal settings, (4) the converted file is ready for download.
CocoConvert's converter handles the entire pipeline server-side using FFmpeg, Sharp, and qpdf — battle-tested libraries used by streaming platforms and enterprise tools. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours.
This conversion is ideal when you Your FLV file won't open on a recipient's device or in an application, or when you A website, service, or platform only accepts TS uploads. For the opposite direction, CocoConvert also supports TS to FLV conversion.
How to Convert FLV to TS
- 1
Upload .flv file
Select your FLV file by dragging it to the upload zone or using the file picker. Batch upload is available for multiple files.
- 2
Choose .ts
Set TS as the output format. The converter uses optimal settings based on the FLV→TS conversion profile.
- 3
Convert
The server-side engine decodes your FLV file and re-encodes it as TS. Processing time depends on file size and complexity.
- 4
Download result
Grab your converted .ts file. Multiple output files can be downloaded together.
What Happens When You Convert FLV to TS
Your FLV video is transcoded — video and audio streams are decoded and re-encoded into the TS container. This is a lossy process that takes time proportional to the video duration.
Your FLV file is demuxed — video, audio, and subtitle streams are separated
The video stream is decoded frame-by-frame, then re-encoded with TS-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 TS container and the file is saved

Should You Convert FLV to TS?
When to Convert
- ✓Your FLV file won't open on a recipient's device or in an application
- ✓A website, service, or platform only accepts TS uploads
When NOT to Convert
- ✗You're converting just because the file "seems old" — re-encoding lossy-to-lossy always degrades quality
Common Mistakes When Converting FLV to TS
"I'll convert to TS and then back to FLV — it'll be the same"
Each lossy conversion cycle permanently degrades quality. Going FLV → TS → FLV will produce a noticeably worse file than the original. Always keep your source file.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FLV and TS?
FLV (Flash Video) is a legacy streaming format — converting to MP4 is recommended for modern use. TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is used in broadcast television and is segmented for streaming. Full Name: FLV uses Flash Video, while TS uses MPEG Transport Stream. Compression: FLV uses Lossy, while TS uses Lossy. Color Depth: FLV uses 8-bit, while TS uses 8-bit.
Does FLV to TS conversion affect quality?
FLV uses lossy compression, and so does TS. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Which format has better compression, FLV or TS?
FLV uses lossy compression. TS uses lossy compression. The better choice depends on whether you prioritize file size or quality.
How long does FLV to TS conversion take?
Most conversions finish in seconds. Larger files or complex video content may take 10–30 seconds. CocoConvert processes files in parallel for batch jobs.
Is FLV or TS better for long-term storage?
Both formats use lossy compression, so consider keeping your original source file for long-term storage.
