TS to DivX Converter

How to Convert TS to DivX Online

1. Upload Your TS File: Drag and drop or click "+ Add Files" to select one or more .ts Transport Stream recordings — DVR captures, IPTV dumps, or camera .m2ts-style splits all work. Batch is supported.
2. Choose Video Codec and Quality Preset: The output defaults to the DivX codec (an MPEG-4 Part 2 implementation) inside an .divx/AVI-style container. Under File Compression pick a Quality Preset (Very High is the recommended default, with Low through Ultra also selectable), enter a Specific file size in MB, or switch to Constant/Variable Bitrate and set a value in Mbps for tighter control.
3. Resize and Trim (Optional): Use Resolution Percentage to scale by 10–100%, pick a Preset Resolution (480p, 720p, 1080p, etc.), enter a custom Width × Height, or keep the original. Under Trim, switch from Unchanged to Time Range and set start + duration in seconds to clip out commercials, intros, or unwanted segments before encoding.
4. Convert and Download: Click Convert. Files are processed on our servers and the finished .divx lands in your browser — no sign-up, no watermark, no email gate.

Why Convert TS to DivX?

A .ts file (MPEG-2 Transport Stream, standardized in ISO/IEC 13818-1 in 1995) is built for broadcast — 188-byte packets, error-recoverable streams, and typically MPEG-2 or H.264 video carried for ATSC, DVB, or IPTV delivery. That makes TS great for capture but awkward for everyday playback: many older media players, set-top boxes, and DVD players don't recognize the container, and the files are large because MPEG-2 was never designed for storage efficiency.

DivX, by contrast, started in 2001 as a desktop-friendly MPEG-4 Part 2 codec and matured into a certified ecosystem. Converting TS to DivX trims file size, fixes container compatibility, and unlocks playback on a wide range of standalone hardware.

• Play TS recordings on DivX-certified hardware — DivX Certified DVD players, Blu-ray players, car stereos, smart TVs, and even some alarm clocks recognize .divx/.avi files but choke on raw TS streams. Conversion makes broadcast captures playable without re-burning a disc.
• Shrink DVR and IPTV captures — TS from a 1080p broadcast often runs 10–20 GB per hour because the MPEG-2 video inside is loosely compressed for transmission resilience. A DivX re-encode at 4–6 Mbps typically yields 2–3 GB per hour with no visible degradation at standard viewing distance.
• Salvage corrupted TS segments — Transport Stream's resync structure means partial captures often play, but the bad packets travel with the file. A DivX re-encode rewrites a clean stream that scrubs, fast-forwards, and seeks predictably in players like VLC, MX Player, and KMPlayer.
• Edit in legacy NLEs — Older versions of Sony Vegas, Pinnacle Studio, and Windows Movie Maker handle DivX/AVI input cleanly but stumble on multi-program transport streams. DivX gives editors a single-program file with predictable timestamps.
• Archive a recognizable format — .divx and .avi containers index instantly on Windows Explorer and most NAS thumbnailers; .ts files frequently show generic icons and no preview frame, making large libraries hard to browse.
• Slim down for thumb drives and SD cards — A 32 GB USB stick that holds three hours of TS broadcast can hold ten hours or more of equivalent DivX footage, useful for road-trip players and in-car infotainment systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DivX a codec or a file format?

Both. The DivX codec is an MPEG-4 Part 2 implementation that traces back to a 1998 reverse-engineering of Microsoft's MPEG-4 codec; the commercial DivX 4.0 launched in July 2001. The .divx extension refers to the DivX Media Format (DMF) container introduced with DivX 6, but most DivX-encoded video has historically shipped inside .avi containers and is treated as such by Windows and DVD players. Our converter outputs a .divx-extension file that most DivX-certified players accept; rename it to .avi if a player refuses the extension.

Why convert TS to DivX instead of MP4?

MP4 (with H.264 or H.265) is more modern and more compact than DivX, and we recommend it for most users — see convert TS to MP4. DivX matters specifically when you need to play files on DivX Certified hardware: older standalone DVD players, in-car head units, and budget media boxes from roughly 2005–2015 that have the DivX logo on the bezel. Those devices were sold with native DivX decoders in firmware, and they won't decode H.264 or HEVC.

Will my DivX file play on a regular DVD player?

Only if the player is DivX Certified. Look for the small "DivX" or "DivX HD" logo printed near the front loading tray or in the player's spec sheet. A standard DVD player without that certification expects MPEG-2 in a VOB inside a UDF/ISO filesystem; copying a .divx onto a data disc won't play. For uncertified hardware you'd need to author a real DVD-Video disc, which requires authoring software, not just a file conversion.

What's the difference between DivX and Xvid?

Xvid was forked from DivX's open-source encore2 encoding core in 2001 and developed as a free, fully open-source alternative. Both implement the MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple/Advanced Simple Profile, so a file encoded by either decoder is decodable by the other, and most players list "DivX/Xvid" together. The differences are licensing (Xvid is GPL, DivX is proprietary) and tuning — DivX adds features like Global Motion Compensation and proprietary profiles for certified hardware. If your target player explicitly says "Xvid only," use the TS to Xvid converter instead.

How big will the output DivX file be?

Roughly one-third the size of the source TS for a typical broadcast. A 60-minute 1080i ATSC capture at ~16 Mbps comes out to about 7 GB as TS; re-encoding to DivX at 4 Mbps yields around 1.8 GB. If you set a Specific file size in MB, the encoder will target that value and adjust bitrate accordingly — handy for fitting a recording onto a 4.7 GB DVD-R or a 700 MB CD-R. Use the Variable Bitrate option for the best size/quality tradeoff on talky content.

Can I keep the original resolution and just change the container?

You can keep the original resolution (set Resolution to "Keep original"), but the audio and video streams are always re-encoded into DivX/MP3 — a true remux without re-encoding is not supported here because DivX is a different codec from the MPEG-2 or H.264 typically inside a TS. If you only need a container swap to make playback work, try TS to MKV instead, which can remux without quality loss.

Will subtitles, multiple audio tracks, or chapters survive?

The DivX Media Format technically supports menus, chapters, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks, but this converter outputs a single video + single audio stream. If your TS file carries multiple audio tracks (English + Spanish, for example) or embedded DVB subtitles, only the default audio track is kept and the subtitles are dropped. Multi-track workflows are better served by TS to MKV, which preserves all streams natively.

Why does the converter warn about quality loss for "File Size %"?

Because TS-to-DivX is a format change (not a same-format compression), targeting a percentage of the source file size can over-shrink the output and produce visible blocking. The warning is in-app; the safer path is to enter a Specific file size in MB or set a Constant Bitrate of 3–6 Mbps for 1080p. For pure size reduction with no container change, see compress DivX.
