Playing TS files on VLC Media Player.

Question

My satellite receiver records on TS file format. How can I convert the file in order to play it on VLC Media Player?

Answer 1

As you can see on the official web page, the latest version of VLC Media Player supports TS files. If you don't have the latest version of the application installed on your computer, navigate to the Downloads page, click the Download VLC button, save the file to your computer and install it following the on-screen instructions. After that, launch the program and from the File menu select Open. Use the Browse option to select the file and click Open. If you have issues, download and install Combined Community Codec Pack.

Answer 2

If VLC won't support playing your TS file, you can search a TS file converter like Brorsoft's Video Converter to encode it to a common video like MP4 or MKV.
