MPEG Transport Stream (TS) is a container format designed for broadcasting and streaming rather than for storage on disk. It splits audio and video into small fixed-size packets and repeats the timing and format information throughout the stream, so a receiver can start playing partway through and recover cleanly from errors. That resilience is why TS underpins digital TV, Blu-ray discs, and HLS internet streaming.
VLC media player is the standard answer — it plays TS files on every platform without additional codecs and can also join a series of TS segments together.
Other options include mpv, MPC-HC on Windows, and professional editors such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Because TS carries a lot of packet overhead and is awkward to edit, converting recordings with our TS to MP4 tool produces smaller, more portable files.

MPEG 4 Audio (M4A) compresses and encodes audio files by using one of two coder-decoder algorithms: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). M4A files are smaller in size while simultaneously better in quality than MP3 files, with which it shares the most similarities, in comparison to all other audio file formats.
M4A files open in most well-known, audio-playback programs, including iTunes, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player. For Apple users, iTunes is the default program to open M4A files. For Windows users, the default program is Windows Media Player. Users can also preview M4A files by highlighting the file and pressing the spacebar.
Additionally, M4A opens in VLC media player, Adobe Premiere Pro, Elmedia Player, Winamp, and a host of other programs.
