Fast, secure TS to OGG conversion. No registration required.
Situation. TS is the MPEG transport stream, used in broadcast and HLS streaming segments. Solution: a OGG, produced below. Extracting audio from TS into OGG is the most common reason people need this pair — a podcast rip, a lecture recording, a music video saved as an audio-only track. The conversion is near-instant because there is no pixel data to transcode, just the audio ES that was already inside the TS container. Background. TS is the MPEG transport stream, used in broadcast and HLS streaming segments. Destination side, OGG is the royalty-free open container typically holding Vorbis or Opus audio streams.
MPEG Transport Stream
Source formatTS (Transport Stream) is used for broadcasting, streaming, and recording live TV.
OGG Vorbis Audio
Target formatOGG Vorbis is an open-source, royalty-free lossy audio format. It generally offers better quality than MP3 at equivalent bitrates and is commonly used in gaming, open-source software, and web audio.
Why convert TS to OGG
Audio players cannot read TS containers natively — they expect a OGG stream without the video wrapper. Extracting the audio upstream saves battery and CPU on the playback device because no dummy video decoding has to happen.
HOW TO CONVERT
TS → OGG
Provide your TS
Drag-and-drop a video up to 25 MB on the free tier; paid plans raise the ceiling substantially.
Extract the audio
We strip the video track, keep the audio ES and write it into a OGG file. Codec-compatible cases use stream-copy for bit-exact output.
Retrieve the OGG
A download link appears as soon as the extraction is done. Typical files finish in seconds.
Common Use Cases
Share across platforms
Send OGG files to anyone without worrying about whether they have the right software for TS.
Embed in documents
Drop OGG output into Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Notion or a website without conversion warnings.
Optimize size
OGG often produces smaller files than TS for web, email and storage.
Archive & future-proof
Store in a widely-supported format that will still open on future operating systems without legacy plugins.
TS vs OGG — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
TS Strengths
- Designed for noisy channels — packet-level error correction.
- Multi-program: one TS can carry several TV channels.
- Native format for all digital TV broadcasts and HLS streaming.
- Streaming-first: no need to download whole file to start playing.
- 30+ years of stable, deployed infrastructure.
Limitations
- Packet overhead (~3% vs Program Stream).
- Seek index is implicit — requires scanning for random access.
- Multiple audio/subtitle selection requires parsing PMT (Program Map Tables).
OGG Strengths
- Completely royalty-free — no patent worries for encoders or decoders.
- Container is streaming-friendly — useful for internet radio.
- Native support in HTML5 <audio>, every major Linux distro, and most audio tools.
- Can multiplex any number of tracks (audio, video, text) in one file.
- Mature tooling via libvorbis, libopus, and FFmpeg.
Limitations
- Apple and Microsoft avoided Ogg historically — iOS and Safari only added Opus support recently.
- Hardware decoder support is rare — encoding for battery-constrained devices (phones) still favors AAC.
- Confusing naming: ".ogg" could be Vorbis, Opus, Speex, or FLAC.

TS vs OGG — Typical file sizes
Approximate file sizes for common scenarios.
TS
- HLS video segment (6 seconds, 1080p) 2-5 MB
- 1 hour recorded TV (HD) 4-8 GB
- Satellite transponder capture (1 min) ~300 MB
OGG
- 3-min music (Vorbis q5 / ~160 kbps) 3.5 MB
- 1-hour podcast (Vorbis q3) 45 MB
- Game sound effects (Vorbis q2) 5-30 KB each
Quality & Compatibility
The perceptual quality of the OGG is bounded by the audio that was already inside the TS. Video containers often ship audio at 128-192 kbps; our conversion does not magically upgrade that, but it does preserve whatever was there without adding a second generation of lossy encoding when we can help it.
Tips for Best Results
- Use Advanced options to set a specific OGG bitrate when file size matters (e.g., sharing over chat apps).
- Tag your OGG output with an ID3 editor afterwards if you need searchable metadata and the source TS had none.
- When batch-extracting a folder of TS files, a single ZIP upload is faster than uploading one by one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The free tier accepts files up to 25 MB without registration, email capture or watermarks; paid plans go up to 2 GB. Paid plans raise the size cap, enable batch conversions and provide a REST API for automation, but nothing on the free tier is quality-limited — the output is exactly the same as on any paid plan.
Only if the audio codec inside TS is not directly writable into the OGG container. When codecs match we stream-copy, producing a bit-exact OGG. When they differ, we re-encode at a high-quality default, so the perceptual loss is tiny for anything other than lossless-to-lossless mismatches.
Uploads run over HTTPS, files are processed in isolated containers, and both the source TS and the OGG output are auto-deleted within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never logged, and KaijuConverter does not use uploads for AI training. The paid plan adds a signable data-processing agreement for regulated workflows.
No. The full TS lands in our processing container, we demux the audio locally and then the container is destroyed. The video bytes never leave KaijuConverter infrastructure and auto-delete within two hours along with the original file.
Most files finish in well under a minute. Small images and documents are typically ready in a few seconds; large video or audio files scale roughly with duration. Upload speed from your network is usually the dominant factor, not server time.
Yes. The Advanced options let you set start and end times in HH:MM:SS, so you can extract a single chapter, a specific quote or a clean sample instead of the full duration of the TS.
