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.
MD at a glance
MD
Convert to Markdown when the output should remain easy to edit in plain text, store in Git, review in diffs, or feed into automated publishing systems.
It is ideal for documentation, articles, developer guides, release notes, and notes that will later be rendered into richer formats.
Use Markdown when semantic structure matters more than exact page layout.
