How to convert MPG to TS

  1. Add your MPG videos

    Drop MPG (MPEG) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. TS is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for large files.

  3. Download

    Save the TS, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The MPG to TS converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your videos are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so work starts the moment you press Convert. How long it takes depends on your device and the size of the file.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

MPG to TS: what to expect

MPG does not play in browsers or on phones and is far larger than MP4. A transport stream is what broadcast and streaming toolchains ingest. MPG is at home in DVDs, Video CDs and old camcorder footage; TS is the usual choice for broadcast recordings and camcorder footage (MTS, M2TS).

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can lower the resolution, trade quality against file size, remove the sound and trim the start and end. This is demanding work for a browser: a long or high-resolution file can take several minutes, and your device does all of it, so keep the tab open.

This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because MPG is not handled by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB.

MPG vs TS

MPG

MPEG video

MPG files hold MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video, the formats of Video CDs, DVDs and early digital camcorders. They are large by modern standards and do not play in browsers.

Opens in VLC, Windows Media Player, DVD software; not browsers or phones

MPG converter
TS

MPEG transport stream

A transport stream is how digital TV is broadcast. The same format, under the MTS or M2TS extension, is what AVCHD camcorders record. It is built to survive transmission errors, not for convenient sharing.

Opens in VLC and TV software; not phones or browsers directly

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The MPG to TS conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting MPG to TS reduce quality?

It depends on what is inside the MPG. When its video and audio are already in a form TS can hold, they can be carried over without being compressed again. Otherwise they are re-encoded, which costs a little quality. Under Options you can favour quality or a smaller file.

Can I convert several MPG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert MPG to TS on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the MPG file, press Convert and save the TS. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. MPG to TS runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
