Reverse conversion

TS at a glance

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.

CSV at a glance

CSV

Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.

It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.

Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.

CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
