TS to OGG Converter

How to Convert TS to OGG Online

1. Upload Your TS File: Drag and drop or click "+ Add Files" to select one or more .ts, .tsv, .tsa, or .m2t transport-stream recordings. Batch is supported — every file uses the same output settings.
2. Pick Quality Preset or Bitrate: Vorbis is the default codec for OGG output. Leave "Quality Preset" on "Very High (Recommended)" for transparent music, drop to "Medium" for podcasts and audiobooks, or switch to "Constant Bitrate" and pick 96–192 kbps. Want a hard cap on output size? Choose "Specific file size" and enter a target in MB.
3. Trim or Resample (Optional): Open "Trim" to clip a single song or scene out of a long broadcast capture (HH:MM:SS). Use "Audio Sample Rate" to downsample 48 kHz broadcast audio to 44.1 kHz for music players, or "Audio Channel" to fold a 5.1 surround track down to stereo.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert". Files process server-side and are deleted automatically — no sign-up, no watermark, no email required.

Why Convert TS to OGG?

A TS file (MPEG Transport Stream, ISO/IEC 13818-1) is the container DVB tuners, IPTV recorders, and Blu-ray BDAV authoring tools write. It is built for error-resilient broadcast, not for music playback — most phones, MP3 players, and audio editors will not open .ts directly. OGG with Vorbis gives you a small, patent-unencumbered audio file that opens in VLC, Audacity, Firefox, Chrome, and almost every Linux media player without installing extra codecs.

• Save the audio from a DVB or ATSC TV recording — concerts, news interviews, late-night talk segments. The Vorbis stream is typically 4–10× smaller than the original AC3 or MP2 track inside the TS.
• Game and emulator soundtracks — Vorbis in OGG is the default audio format for Unity, Godot, RPG Maker, and many indie engines; dropping the file into an Assets/Audio folder works without re-encoding.
• Open-source projects and Wikipedia uploads — Wikimedia Commons accepts Ogg Vorbis but not proprietary AAC or AC3; converting from a TS broadcast capture lets you contribute audio clips legally.
• Linux desktop notification and ringtone files — GNOME, KDE, and most distros ship with GStreamer-Vorbis support out of the box; OGG plays without adding restricted-codec packages.
• Long-form podcasts and audiobooks — at Vorbis q3 (~112 kbps) speech sounds clean and a 3-hour recording lands around 150 MB, half the size of a 192 kbps MP3.
• Browser-played audio for websites — <audio src="track.ogg"> works natively in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera; only Safari needs a fallback.

TS vs OGG — Format Comparison

Vorbis Quality Preset Guide

Vorbis 1.0 was released in May 2000 by the Xiph.Org Foundation; quality settings span q-1 (45 kbit/s) to q10 (500 kbit/s) at 44.1 kHz stereo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the converter pull the audio out of my TS recording automatically?

Yes. TS is a container — your file holds a video track plus one or more audio tracks (often AC3 from a US ATSC broadcast or MP2 from European DVB). The converter demuxes the file, drops the video, and re-encodes the first audio track to Vorbis in an OGG container. If your TS has multiple audio languages, the primary track is used by default.

Should I pick Vorbis or Opus for OGG?

For this page the output is OGG/Vorbis specifically. If you need Opus instead — better quality below 96 kbps and the Xiph.Org Foundation's recommended codec for new projects since 2013 — convert the TS to an .opus file separately. Vorbis is still the right pick when targeting older game engines, Wikimedia Commons, or any tool that expects "Ogg Vorbis" by name.

What bitrate should I use for music vs voice?

For music, 160–192 kbps Vorbis (Quality Preset "High" or "Very High") is transparent for most listeners — independent listening tests show Vorbis matches MP3 at ~25% lower bitrate. For voice, audiobooks, and podcasts, 96–112 kbps ("Medium") is plenty; below 64 kbps Vorbis starts to sound watery, which is where Opus would do better.

Why is my converted OGG so much smaller than the original TS?

A TS file carries the full video stream plus error-correction padding designed for noisy broadcast transmission. Stripping the video and re-encoding only the audio to Vorbis at, say, 160 kbps typically yields a file 5–15× smaller than the original .ts. A 1-hour 720p TV recording at 700 MB will usually convert to a 60–80 MB OGG.

Can I trim the OGG to just the song or segment I want?

Yes. Expand "Trim" in Advanced Options and enter start and end times in HH:MM:SS format. The trim runs before encoding, so the output OGG contains only the selected range — handy for pulling a single song out of a 3-hour concert capture or one news segment out of a broadcast block. For more granular edits or fade-ins, use Audio Cutter instead.

What plays OGG Vorbis files?

VLC, Audacity, Foobar2000, Winamp, MPV, mpv, Rhythmbox, Clementine, Strawberry, every modern Android phone, and the <audio> tag in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Safari and the stock iOS Files app do not. On iPhone or macOS, install VLC or convert to AAC/MP3 for native playback.

Will Vorbis preserve the 5.1 surround track on my Blu-ray rip?

Vorbis supports up to 7.1 channels in spec, but most decoders and players only handle stereo or 5.1 reliably. If you need the full surround mix preserved, FLAC is a safer choice. For a stereo downmix from a 5.1 source, set "Audio Channel" to Stereo before converting — the encoder will fold the surround channels into a left/right mix.

Is OGG really royalty-free?

Yes. The Vorbis specification is in the public domain; the reference libraries use the 3-clause BSD license. Xiph.Org has maintained since 2002 that Vorbis is unencumbered by known patents, which is why it ships by default on Linux, Wikipedia, and most open-source game engines without any licensing fee. Compare this to MP3, which only became fully patent-free in April 2017.

What if I want MP3 or WAV instead?

Run TS to MP3 for maximum portability, or convert MP3 to OGG with MP3 to OGG if you already have an MP3 library you want as Vorbis. WAV from TS is also supported if you need uncompressed PCM for editing.
