Format FLV
The Flash Video format was developed by Adobe Systems in the early 2000s to accompany the rise of the Flash Player. This format became particularly popular due to its adoption by early video streaming platforms, notably YouTube in its early days.
FLV uses video compression that allows for relatively lightweight files while maintaining acceptable quality for online streaming. It supports various video codecs such as Sorenson Spark, VP6, and H.264, as well as audio codecs like MP3 and AAC. This versatility made it a preferred choice for multimedia content distribution on the Internet at a time when connections were more limited.
However, the rise of mobile devices, particularly Apple's iPhone which did not support Flash, marked the beginning of the decline of the FLV format. Recurring security issues with the Flash Player and the emergence of more modern technologies like HTML5 gradually led to its abandonment. Although the format is still usable, Adobe officially ended Flash support at the end of 2020, making FLV largely obsolete for new projects.
Today, although some software and players still allow FLV files to be played, the format is mainly maintained for archival purposes or to support older systems. Content creators are now turning to more modern formats like MP4 or WebM, which offer better cross-platform compatibility and superior performance.
Format TS
The TS (Transport Stream) format is a communication protocol developed as part of the MPEG-2 standard, initially designed for digital television.
TS is characterized by its robustness and ability to efficiently handle continuous broadcasting. It encapsulates data into 188-byte packets, a size optimized for transport across networks, and includes built-in error correction mechanisms. This structure allows for quick recovery of the stream in case of data loss, which is crucial for live broadcasting and streaming.
Widely used in television broadcasting via DVB, the TS format has also become popular for HLS streaming (HTTP Live Streaming) developed by Apple. It supports multiplexing of multiple audio, video, and data streams, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of different audio tracks or subtitles.
While the TS format excels in live broadcasting and streaming, it has some limitations for local file storage, particularly a larger file size compared to other container formats like MP4 or MKV. However, its reliability and low latency make it a preferred choice for professional broadcasting applications and live streaming services.
