Convert TS to AVI

Your set-top box saved a show as .ts, but an older TV only plays AVI from a USB stick. Convert the recording to an AVI it can read, right here in your browser.

How to convert TS to AVI

  1. Choose the TS recording

    Drop the .ts file from your recorder or tuner onto the page, or click to find it.

  2. Re-encode it as AVI

    Pick AVI as the output and click Convert to AVI. The recording is fully re-encoded to MPEG-4 Part 2 video with MP3 audio, and interlaced video is deinterlaced.

  3. Save it for the TV

    There is no preview, as browsers can't play AVI. Download the file, copy it to a USB stick and play it on the TV.

TV recordings on older players

Many older TVs and USB media players read AVI with DivX or Xvid style video but not TS. The AVI from Adapterry holds MPEG-4 Part 2 video, the kind those players read, with MP3 sound.

TS to AVI is always a full conversion, and the frame size is kept up to 1920x1080. Only the first audio track is kept, so a recording with several languages comes out with one. A long broadcast can take a while, so keep the tab open until it finishes.

Questions and answers

Why won't my older TV play a .ts recording from USB?

Many older TVs don't read transport streams. They expect AVI with DivX style video, which is what this converter makes.

How long does a TS to AVI conversion take?

It is always a full conversion, so it depends on the length of the recording and your device. An hour of TV can take several minutes or more. Keep the tab open.

What if my TV still refuses the AVI?

Players differ in what they accept. Try a short recording first. If the TV also reads MP4, that is another option worth testing.

Can I turn a split TS recording into one AVI?

Yes. Add the parts, check they are in order and choose AVI. They come out as one file.

Does the AVI keep the broadcast's sound?

Yes. AAC, AC3 or MP2 sound is converted to MP3, which AVI players expect. Only the first audio track is used.
