Starting point: FLV is the Adobe Flash Video container, now deprecated but still lingering in archives. Natural next step, a TS. If you need a TS version of a FLV clip for a social platform, a stock site or a CMS upload widget, this tool handles the job without re-rendering anything when it does not have to. The output is the same pixel data in a container the destination actually accepts. Keep in mind FLV is the Adobe Flash Video container, now deprecated but still lingering in archives. And remember that TS is the MPEG transport stream, used in broadcast and HLS streaming segments.
Flash Video
Source formatFLV was the dominant web video format during the Flash era. While Flash is now deprecated, many legacy video files still exist in FLV format and need conversion to modern formats.
MPEG Transport Stream
Target formatTS (Transport Stream) is used for broadcasting, streaming, and recording live TV.
Why convert FLV to TS
Sending FLV to someone on a non-matching operating system frequently leads to "file cannot be opened". TS avoids that by sitting in the middle of everyone's compatibility list. The repackage runs quickly and without generational loss when codecs already align.
HOW TO CONVERT
FLV → TS
Drop the video file
Select a FLV file. We read the container and stream descriptors to plan the conversion.
FFmpeg handles the repackage
When codecs align, FFmpeg rewraps the existing streams into a TS container — no quality loss, near-instant finish.
Retrieve the TS
The TS download is ready in seconds for stream-copy jobs, minutes for full transcodes.
Common Use Cases
Video editing import
Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve scrub TS smoothly; some FLV variants cause playhead judder.
Email and chat attachments
Gmail previews TS inline; Slack and Discord create inline players. FLV tends to arrive as a generic file attachment.
Archival and cloud storage
Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive stream TS in their web players — FLV triggers a download-to-view.
Conference and webinar recordings
Zoom, Teams and Meet export recordings compatibly with TS; FLV may need a conversion step before distribution.
Quality & Compatibility
Resolution, frame rate and colour space are preserved end-to-end. If the TS container does not support some FLV features (chapters, multiple subtitle tracks, DRM-protected streams), those are flattened or dropped with a warning. Hard-coded subtitles in the video frames always survive.
Tips for Best Results
- Embedded subtitle tracks convert between FLV and TS when both containers support the same subtitle codec; otherwise burn the subtitles into the video first.
- For portrait (9:16) clips, make sure the TS encoder preserves the correct display aspect ratio — some players default to 16:9 if SAR is ambiguous.
- Long recordings (over an hour) benefit from chapter metadata; TS may not preserve FLV chapters — check before relying on them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Only when it has to. If the codecs inside FLV (usually H.264 or H.265 for video, AAC for audio) are accepted by TS, we stream-copy — the bytes are repackaged into the new container with zero re-encoding and no quality loss. When the source uses a codec the target does not support, we transcode at a matching bitrate to keep the visual quality close to the original.
With stream copy, expect the job to finish in seconds to tens of seconds regardless of video length — the work is mostly rewriting the container. Transcoding is slower (roughly real-time: a ten-minute clip takes about ten minutes) because every frame must be decoded and re-encoded. The progress bar shows which mode applies.
Yes. Resolution, frame rate, colour space and bit depth are preserved by default; stream copy is literally bit-identical on these parameters. If you explicitly pick a lower bitrate or a different codec in Advanced, the output is rebuilt to those settings, but the default is always "match the source".
