Understanding MPG and TS file formats

The MPG file format, also known as MPEG, is a popular video format that uses the Moving Picture Experts Group standards for compression. It is widely used for creating movies that are distributed on the internet. The format supports both video and audio compression, making it efficient for streaming and downloading.

The TS file format, or Transport Stream, is a standard format for transmitting video, audio, and data. It is commonly used in broadcasting systems such as DVB and ATSC. TS files are designed to allow multiplexing of digital video and audio and to synchronize the output.
