This article describes how to use HeSoft Doc Batch Tool to batch convert multiple video files in a folder to TS format. In the example, the original files include different video formats such as MP4 and MOV, and after processing, TS files are uniformly generated, suitable for users who need to organize footage, unify video container formats, and reduce repetitive conversion operations. The article will combine before-and-after effect images and software operation screenshots to explain how to enter the video tool, select "Convert Video to TS", import files or folders, and follow the wizard to complete the save location settings and start processing.
In daily office work, content creation, course material organization, video asset archiving, and similar scenarios, a very practical problem often arises: there are many video files in the same folder, some in MP4 format, some in MOV format, possibly coming from different devices or exported by different software. If subsequent platforms, players, transcoding pipelines, or project specifications require a uniform TS format, opening a video conversion tool one by one and exporting each file is not only time-consuming but also prone to missed or duplicate conversions or saving to the wrong location.
This article aims to solve the problem of "batch converting many video files to TS format." We will use the office software shown in the screenshot, HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , to complete the operation. Its positioning is not a single-file editor but a batch file processing tool for office scenarios, suitable for centralizing repetitive file conversion, organization, renaming, and other operations. For users needing to convert MP4 to TS, MOV to TS, or unify mixed video formats into TS files, using a batch processing method can significantly reduce the number of manual clicks.
Applicable Scenarios: When Do You Need Batch Video to TS Conversion
TS is a common video container format used in some video distribution, playback, segmentation, and asset transfer workflows. If you only have one or two videos, manual conversion might be acceptable; but when the number of videos increases to dozens or hundreds, manual processing becomes very inefficient. The value of a batch video conversion tool lies in adding multiple videos at once, setting the target format uniformly, and then letting the software process them automatically according to the list.
Combined with this article's example, the original folder contains both MP4 and MOV files. The filenames are like "Video test 20.mp4," "Video test 24.mov," etc. They come from the same test folder but have inconsistent extensions. If subsequent work requires all files to be in TS format, these videos in different formats need to be uniformly converted.
The following types of users are especially suited to refer to this article's operation:
- Need to batch convert a group of MP4 videos to TS format for subsequent playback or distribution processes.
- Need to batch convert MOV videos to TS, avoiding importing them into conversion software one by one.
- The folder contains formats like mp4, mov simultaneously, hoping to output them all as .ts files at once.
- Office staff, operations personnel, educational administrators, or content organizers who need to quickly organize large amounts of video material.
- Hope to batch process files through office software, reduce repetitive work, and improve the efficiency of video file organization.
Effect Preview: Before Processing MP4 and MOV, After Processing Unified as TS
Before Processing: Multiple Video Formats Exist in the Same Folder
From the pre-processing screenshot, it can be seen that the video extensions in the file list are not uniform; some files are MP4 File, and some are MOV File. That is to say, without uniform conversion, subsequent management, uploading, transcoding, or calling might require handling different formats separately.
In this example, the filenames include "Video test 20.mp4," "Video test 22.mp4," "Video test 23.mp4," "Video test 24.mov," "Video test 30.mov," "Video test 31.mov," "Video test 32.mov," "Video test 51.mp4," etc. It can be seen that although they are all video files, their formats are not completely consistent. The purpose of batch conversion is to output these files uniformly in TS format, reducing the trouble caused by subsequent file format inconsistencies.
After Processing: All Video Files Become TS Format
The post-processing screenshot shows that corresponding .ts files have been generated for the original batch of video files, and the type column also displays as TS File. The main body of the filename remains the same, only the extension changes to .ts, for example, "Video test 20.ts," "Video test 24.ts," etc.
This effect indicates that the key results of batch video to TS conversion are twofold: first, multiple video files can be processed at once; second, the output format is uniform, facilitating subsequent archiving, uploading, or entering the next video processing workflow. For those who frequently handle large amounts of material, this uniform processing is more stable than manual individual conversion and easier to check.
Operation Steps: Using Office Software to Batch Convert Videos to TS Format
The following explains the specific operation according to the screenshot order. To avoid omissions, it is recommended to first gather the videos to be processed in one folder and confirm that these files can be accessed normally. In this article's example, the files to be processed are located in a desktop test folder. After importing into the software, information such as file name, path, extension, creation time, and modification time will be displayed in the list for users to verify.
Step One: Open the Software, Enter "Video Tools" on the Left
After opening HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , you can see multiple tool categories on the left side of the software, such as File Name, Folder Name, File Organization, Word Tools, Excel Tools, PowerPoint Tools, PDF Tools, Text Tools, Image Tools, Video Tools, Audio Tools, etc. Since this article deals with video format conversion, you need to click Video Tools on the left.
After entering Video Tools, the main area will display various video format conversion functions, including "Convert Video to MP4," "Convert Video to AVI," "Convert Video to MKV," "Convert Video to MOV," "Convert Video to FLV," "Convert Video to WMV," "Convert Video to WebM," "Convert Video to MPEG," "Convert Video to 3GP," "Convert Video to OGV," and more. The one to select in the screenshot is the 11th item: Convert Video to TS.
The purpose of this step is to tell the software that the target format for this batch processing is TS. Choosing the correct function is very important because different cards represent different output formats. If you want to uniformly convert videos to TS, you should enter "Convert Video to TS," not other conversion entries like MP4, MOV, or MKV.
After completing this step, the expected result is entering the "Convert Video to TS" processing page, where the current function name will be displayed at the top of the page. Next, you can start adding the video files to be converted.
Step Two: Add Video Files to Convert or Import from Folder
After entering the "Convert Video to TS" page, two import-related buttons can be seen at the top: Add Files and Import Files from Folder. If you only want to convert a few specified videos, you can click "Add Files"; if the videos are all concentrated in the same folder, it is usually more advisable to click "Import Files from Folder," as this can add the videos from the folder to the processing list all at once.
The screenshot already shows 8 imported records. The list displays each video's sequence number, name, path, extension, creation time, modification time, and an operation column. It can be seen that the extension column contains both mp4 and mov, indicating that this batch processing task can add multiple videos from different sources into the same pending list and then uniformly convert them to TS format.
The purpose of this step is to establish the list of files to be converted. For batch processing, the file list is a very critical step. After importing, it is recommended to check the list first and confirm the following points:
- Whether the record count matches expectations. For example, the bottom of the screenshot shows a record count of 8, indicating there are 8 videos pending processing in the current list.
- Whether the file names are correct, to avoid mistakenly adding videos that do not need conversion to the task.
- Whether the paths are correct, confirming that the files imported are from the target folder.
- Whether the extensions match expectations, such as video files like mp4, mov.
If a record is found unnecessary, you can use the delete icon in the operation column on the right side of the list to remove that record. There is also a "Clear" button at the top of the page for clearing the currently added records. It is important to note here that "Clear" is usually used to clear the pending list in the software and does not equate to deleting the original video files on the computer; however, it is still advisable to click cautiously before formal operation to avoid time wasted on re-importing.
Step Three: Verify the File List and Use Filtering and Sorting for Auxiliary Checking
After importing files, do not rush to start the conversion. The advantage of batch processing is speed, but if the wrong files are selected, errors will also be executed in batch. Therefore, it is recommended to verify the list once before execution. In the screenshot, "Filter" and "Sort" buttons can be seen at the top right of the list, indicating that the software provides an entry to filter or sort the current list. For tasks with many files, these list viewing capabilities can be used to quickly confirm extension, name, or time information.
For example, when you only want to process mp4 and mov videos in a certain folder, you can focus on checking the path column and extension column. If the number of files is large, sorting can help you check them in name or time order; filtering is suitable for locating a certain type of record within the list. No complex setup is needed here; just ensure that all videos in the pending list are the ones that need to be converted to TS.
The expected result of this step is an accurate pending conversion list. Only after the list is confirmed to be correct can the subsequent conversion result be reliable.
Step Four: Click "Next" and Set the Save Location Following the Wizard
After confirming the list is correct, a Next button can be seen at the bottom of the page. The progress bar in the screenshot also shows the current process is divided into three stages: Step 1 "Select records to process," Step 2 "Set save location," Step 3 "Start processing." Therefore, after completing file selection, you need to click "Next" to enter the save location setting stage.
The setting of the save location determines where the converted .ts files will be output. For batch video conversion tasks, it is recommended to choose an easily identifiable output directory, such as creating a new folder next to the original one specifically for storing the TS results. This has two benefits: first, it facilitates comparison of pre- and post-processing files; second, it prevents output files from being mixed with original videos, making subsequent organization clearer.
As the specific button names on the save location page are not shown in the screenshot (which only displays the entry to the processing page and the file list stage), this article does not fabricate control names not present. During actual operation, simply complete the save location setting according to the software interface prompts. After setting, proceed to the next stage to start processing.
Step Five: Start Processing and Check the Output TS Files
After completing the save location setting, follow the software flow to enter the "Start Processing" stage. The software will batch convert these videos to TS format based on the previously imported file list. After processing is finished, go to the save directory to check the results; you should see .ts files corresponding to the original filenames.
Combined with the effect images in this article, the converted file types are uniformly displayed as TS File, and all extensions become .ts. The original "Video test 20.mp4" will yield "Video test 20.ts," and the original "Video test 24.mov" will yield "Video test 24.ts." This naming method helps users quickly match conversion results with the original files and facilitates checking for any omissions later.
Common Questions and Considerations
1. Can MP4 and MOV be batch converted to TS together?
From the example screenshot, it can be seen that files with mp4 and mov extensions exist simultaneously in the pending list, and after processing, TS files are generated uniformly. Therefore, in similar scenarios, multiple videos in different formats can be added to the same "Convert Video to TS" task for unified processing. In actual use, it is recommended to rely on the files successfully imported and displayed in the software list.
2. Do I need to back up original videos before batch conversion?
It is recommended to keep the original videos. Although batch conversion usually outputs new files, to avoid operational errors, choosing the wrong save location, or needing to revert to the original format later, it is best not to delete the original files. Especially for material or project videos, the original files often hold archival value.
3. Why verify the list first before clicking Next?
The core value of batch processing is handling multiple files at once, but this also means that if wrong files are imported, the errors will be magnified. Verifying the list through information such as name, path, extension, and record count can effectively avoid missed or incorrect selections. The detailed list fields shown in the screenshot are precisely for users to confirm the task scope before processing.
4. Is it normal for the output file size to not exactly match the original file?
After video format conversion, the file container method changes, and the file size may differ from the original. In the post-processing screenshot, it can be seen that the size of the TS files is not completely consistent with the pre-processing size; this is a normal phenomenon that can occur during video conversion. When checking, focus more on whether the files are generated completely, whether the quantity is consistent, and whether they meet subsequent usage requirements.
5. Any suggestions when there are many files?
If a large number of videos need to be converted at once, it is advisable to first run a test with a small number of files to confirm that the output location and result format meet expectations before processing the complete folder. Also, batch converting videos may take some time; ensure the computer has sufficient disk space and try not to move the folder containing the original videos during processing.
Summary: Reduce Repetitive Conversion Work with Batch Processing
Converting multiple video files to TS format is essentially a typical repetitive office task. Manual individual conversion is not only slow but also prone to errors; using office software like HeSoft Doc Batch Tool can centralize the process of "selecting files, unifying format, batch output," significantly reducing repetitive operation costs.
In this article's example, the pre-processing folder contained MP4 and MOV videos, and after processing, TS files were generated for all, with a uniform format and intuitive results. During actual operation, you just need to enter "Video Tools," select "Convert Video to TS," build the pending list via "Add Files" or "Import Files from Folder," verify the list, click "Next," set the save location following the wizard, and start processing.
If you are organizing a large amount of video material or need to uniformly convert multiple MP4, MOV videos to TS format, it is recommended to use the batch processing workflow directly. This reduces repetitive clicks and makes the file conversion results more centralized, easier to check, and manage.
