A Simple Guide on How to Convert TS Files to MP4 Using VLC

Most people are already very familiar with VLC, so without further ado, let's get straight to the step-by-step guidance about converting TS files to MP4 VLC.

Step 1. Launch VLC Media Player on your device and click the “Media” tab and navigate to the “Convert/Save” button to bring up the “Open Media” window. (If you don’t have VLC installed, go to the VLC official website: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ to download the newest version and then launch it.)

Step 2. In the “Open Media” window, click the “+ Add...” button to browse and import TS files. Then press the bottom “Convert/Save” button to open the “Convert” window.

Step 3. In the “Convert” window, the program will set MP4 (“Video-H.264 + MP3 (MP4)”) as the output format by default. But you can also select “Video-H.265 + MP3 (MP4)” from the Profile drop-down list.

Step 4. Press “Browse” to specify an output folder and rename the file extension to .mp4. Then, hit the “Start” button to begin the VLC TS to MP4 conversion.

Note that if you have imported multiple files before, then VLC will automatically keep the converted files in the original folder with the same name. You can check the “Append ‘-converted’ to filename” box to distinguish them.

However, some users reported that there were some errors on the converted files, like VLC convert TS to MP4 no sound, incomplete conversion, skipping files during the conversion, etc. If you have issues with the converted file having no audio, you can reconvert the files, but in step 3, open the profile edit page and choose "Keep original audio track" in the audio settings. Then start the conversion and check if the error goes away. But for other issues or the no audio issue persists, try using a more professional video converter program to handle the issue.
