This article explains how to batch convert MP4 and MOV files from a collection of video materials into the TS format, suitable for office scenarios such as video archiving, platform uploading, material organization, and test file preparation. Through HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , users can select videos to convert to TS in the video tool, add files in batches or import files from a folder, verify the pending list, set the save location, and execute the conversion, thereby reducing repetitive operations and improving file processing efficiency.
During the process of collecting and organizing video materials, they often come from different devices, different personnel, or different software, so the formats are not always consistent. A single folder might contain video files like MP4 and MOV simultaneously. For regular playback, this mix of formats may not cause immediate issues, but when archiving, unified uploading, system testing, or delivery to a specific platform is required, format requirements become very strict. For example, some processes require providing TS format files, necessitating the uniform conversion of existing video materials to .ts.
If there are only one or two videos, manual conversion is tolerable; but with many video files, operating one by one becomes extremely inefficient. This article introduces a method more suitable for office scenarios: using HeSoft Doc Batch Tool to batch convert multiple video materials like MP4 and MOV to TS format. The entire tutorial will combine before-and-after screenshots and software step screenshots to help users understand how to solve the problem, how to operate the software, and what results should be achieved at each step.
Applicable Scenarios: Format Unification Before Video Material Organization, Archiving, and Delivery
Batch converting video materials to TS format is common in the following scenarios. First, video archiving. When organizing project materials, enterprises or teams hope all video files adopt a unified format for convenient long-term preservation and retrieval. Second, platform uploading. Some internal systems, playback systems, or distribution processes have requirements for video formats, necessitating conversion before uploading. Third, test preparation. Technical or product personnel need a batch of TS video files for compatibility, playback, or process testing. Fourth, material delivery. When providing video materials externally, to meet the recipient's requirements, original MP4, MOV, etc., files need to be uniformly output as TS.
The pain point in these scenarios is not converting once, but performing the conversion many times repeatedly. HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , as office software, has its core value oriented towards batch file processing, helping users delegate repetitive tasks to tools. For video materials, batch conversion allows users to import multiple records at once, uniformly set the output format and save location, thereby improving processing efficiency.
Effect Preview: Mixed MP4 and MOV Exist Before Processing
The pre-processing screenshot shows a folder containing multiple video records. File names include "Video test 20.mp4", "Video test 22.mp4", "Video test 24.mov", "Video test 30.mov", etc., with MP4 File and MOV File appearing simultaneously in the type column. This indicates the current video material formats are inconsistent.
In actual office work, this situation is very common. Files from phone recordings, camera recordings, editing software exports, or client sends may all use different formats. If TS files are subsequently required, users need to uniformly convert these differently formatted videos. Otherwise, temporary rework might be needed during later uploading or management.
Effect Preview: All Output as TS Files After Processing
In the post-processing screenshot, the original batch of videos has been uniformly changed to .ts files, and the type column also displays TS File. The main file names remain consistent, with only the extension changing to TS. For example, the original MP4 or MOV files appear after conversion as "Video test 20.ts", "Video test 24.ts", etc.
This kind of result is very suitable for delivery and archiving: on one hand, the file names continue the original naming convention, making it easy to correspond with source files; on the other hand, the extensions and file types are completely unified, making subsequent copying, uploading, and checking more intuitive.
Operation Step 1: Enter the Video Tool of HeSoft Doc Batch Tool
After opening HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , first find "Video Tool" in the left navigation bar. The left interface also contains other office file processing categories, such as Word Tool, Excel Tool, PDF Tool, Image Tool, etc., which also reflects the software's positioning for batch office file processing. Since the task in this article is video format conversion, "Video Tool" should be selected.
After entering the video tool page, the main area displays multiple video conversion function cards. Each card corresponds to a target format, including MP4, AVI, MKV, MOV, FLV, WMV, WebM, MPEG, 3GP, OGV, and TS, among others. Do not mistakenly select other formats here; click "Convert Video to TS".
In the screenshot, the "Convert Video to TS" card is highlighted and annotated with the description "Batch convert video files to TS format". The purpose of this step is to make the software enter the specific TS conversion process. Upon completion, the user will enter the "Convert Video to TS" processing page.
Operation Step 2: Use Add Files or Import Files from Folder
After entering the "Convert Video to TS" page, the first stage is to select the records that need processing. At the top of the page, you can see two buttons: "Add Files" and "Import Files from Folder". They are suitable for different office scenarios.
If you only need to convert a small number of specific videos, or if these videos are scattered in different directories, you can click "Add Files" and select files as needed. If the videos to be processed are all in the same folder, it is recommended to click "Import Files from Folder". This method aligns more with the batch processing approach, quickly adding videos from the folder to the task list and reducing the time spent selecting files one by one.
After importing, the page displays a table of records pending processing. In the screenshot, the list has imported 8 records, and the bottom also shows the record count as 8. The table shows information like file name, path, extension, creation time, and modification time. The extension column contains both mp4 and mov, indicating that these differently formatted video materials have been added to the same conversion task.
Operation Step 3: Check the File List and Confirm the Conversion Scope
Before batch conversion, it is recommended to carefully check the pending list. Many users tend to overlook this step when processing large numbers of files, but it directly determines whether the final output result is complete and accurate. Focus on four items during the check.
First, check the record count. The bottom displays the record count as 8, indicating there are 8 pending videos in the current task. Users can compare this with the number in the source folder. Second, check the names. Confirm that each file name belongs to the video material intended for this conversion. Third, check the path. The path can help determine if the file comes from the correct folder, avoiding mistakenly importing files from other directories. Fourth, check the extension. The example includes mp4 and mov, which aligns with the goal of unifying mixed formats into TS.
If a certain record is found unnecessary for processing, use the delete icon in the operation column to remove it. If there are many import errors, click "Clear" at the top to re-import. The "Filter" and "Sort" features in the interface are also suitable for assisting searching and checking when there are many records. After confirming no errors, click the "Next" button at the bottom.
Operation Step 4: Set Save Location and Start Batch Generating TS Files
The software process shows that after importing records, you still need to "Set Save Location" and "Start Processing". It is recommended to choose an independent, clearly named folder for the save location, not mixing it with the source files. For example, you can create a new "TS Output" folder under the project directory to store all converted files centrally.
This has three advantages. First, it preserves the original MP4 and MOV files, preventing the inability to backtrack after conversion. Second, the output TS files are centrally managed, making it easy to check if all have been generated. Third, during delivery or uploading, you only need to select the output directory, eliminating the need to filter again in the source folder.
After setting the save location, proceed to the start processing stage, letting the software batch convert the video formats according to the list. During processing, the software sequentially processes the video files in the records. Users do not need to repeatedly select the output format or confirm file by file. After waiting for the processing to complete, open the output directory and check if the file extension is .ts and the file type is TS File.
Common Questions and Precautions
1. Do the original formats need to be unified before converting videos to TS? No prior manual unification is needed. In the example, MP4 and MOV files enter the task list simultaneously, the goal being to batch convert them to TS format using the software.
2. Will the file names be completely changed? Judging from the post-processing effect, the main body of the file name remains consistent, with the primary change being the extension becoming .ts. This benefits users in identifying the conversion results based on the original file names.
3. How to avoid missing files during batch conversion? It is recommended to first centralize the pending videos into one folder, then use "Import Files from Folder". After importing, compare the record count and file names, and only proceed after confirming no errors.
4. Is it necessary to delete the original MP4 and MOV files? It is not recommended to delete the source files before the conversion is complete. A safer approach is to keep the source files first, and after confirming the TS files are usable, then process the original files according to actual archiving rules.
5. What preparations can be made when there are many videos? You can organize folders in advance, unify naming conventions, confirm disk space, and set a clear output directory. This makes the results easier to check and deliver after batch processing is completed.
Summary
Batch converting video materials to TS format is essentially a typical office batch file processing task. Through HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , users can select "Convert Video to TS" in the video tool, then batch import MP4, MOV, etc., videos via "Add Files" or "Import Files from Folder", verify the list, set the save location, and start processing.
Compared to converting one by one, this method is more suitable for organizing, archiving, preparing for upload, and generating test files for large quantities of video materials. It reduces repetitive clicks, lowers the risk of missing or mis-selecting files, and makes the output results more centralized and standardized. It is recommended that users with similar needs follow the steps in this article to first test the process with a batch of sample files, and after confirming the results meet the requirements, then apply it to formal large-batch video-to-TS tasks.
