FAQs
Why convert ARI to TS?
Convert to TS when the destination expects transport streams, such as broadcast workflows, segment-based media handling, receiver recordings, or other systems where packetized streaming compatibility matters.
It is useful as an operational and interchange format inside media infrastructure.
For easier library playback and casual sharing, MP4 or MKV are usually more convenient.
What changes when converting ARI to TS?

Moving to TS removes camera raw data.
What should I review after converting ARI to TS?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
