Convert TS4 to AVI

Understanding ts4 and avi file formats

TS4 files are typically associated with video recordings from certain digital video recorders or surveillance systems. These files often use proprietary codecs and are not widely supported by standard media players. AVI (Audio Video Interleave), on the other hand, is a popular multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft, known for its broad compatibility with media players and editing software.
