I've found most TVs I've tried accept a decent variety of formats. If you |
| 17 |
are loading a .ts and saving a .m4 without reencoding, you are only |
| 18 |
changing the container, which is really fast. Along the way, you may drop |
| 19 |
some of the redundant, duplicated data that is only needed for OTA |
| 20 |
transmission. |

Indeed it is, but if it is not necessary to save as a .ts, you open up |
| 26 |
more possibilities of finding software that fits your needs and is easy to |
| 27 |
use. |
