Part 1: Introducing TS File Format <\/strong><\/h2>\n
Why is it different to play TS files on your computer from other digital video formats? What is TS file extension? General speaking, TS is a video format that is used for storing video on DVDs. TS stands for Transport Stream. By using this kind of format, you can be easily allowed to store audio and data information. Furthermore, TS files are primarily applied for MPEG-2 part 1 systems which are mainly used to compress video data. Everyone knows more or less about the MPEG-2 format through their contact with DVD. The MPEG-2 format of DVD programs, to be exact, is MPEG-2-PS, whose full name is Program Stream, while the full name of TS is Transport Stream. MPEG-2-PS is mainly used to store files with a fixed duration, such as DVD movies, while MPEG-TS file is mainly used for real-time transmission of programs, such as real-time broadcast television programs. <\/p>\n
The main features of TS format are as follows:<\/p>\n
1. In daily life, DVD stands for ordinary clear version, BD stands for HD waterless version, HD stands for HD version, and TS stands for preemptive non-clear version.<\/p>\n
2. TS format often defines program specific information (PSI), which is used to describe the composition structure of the transmission stream. PSI plays an extremely important role in MPEG-2 system, especially in multiplexing PAT table and PMT table.<\/p>\n
3. TS table can give the specific composition of a program and its corresponding relationship with video, audio and PID.<\/p>\n
4. PAT table in TS shows how many programs there are in a MPEG code stream and the corresponding relationship between it and the PID of PMT table.<\/p>\n
