Converting to FLAC won't restore lost quality
Your TS file has already undergone lossy compression. Converting to FLAC preserves what's left — it prevents further degradation from re-saving — but it will not magically sharpen a blurry image or recover discarded audio frequencies.
Some metadata may not survive
Your TS file may contain PSI/SI tables metadata. FLAC has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
