MPEG Transport Stream (TS) is a container format designed for broadcasting and streaming rather than for storage on disk. It splits audio and video into small fixed-size packets and repeats the timing and format information throughout the stream, so a receiver can start playing partway through and recover cleanly from errors. That resilience is why TS underpins digital TV, Blu-ray discs, and HLS internet streaming.
VLC media player is the standard answer — it plays TS files on every platform without additional codecs and can also join a series of TS segments together.
Other options include mpv, MPC-HC on Windows, and professional editors such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Because TS carries a lot of packet overhead and is awkward to edit, converting recordings with our TS to MP4 tool produces smaller, more portable files.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a digital audio file format that reduces file size via lossy compression. Its primary uses are digital TV, digital radio, and Internet streaming. It is the standard audio format for iOS, YouTube, Nintendo, and Playstation. ISO/IEC designated the AAC codec as an improvement to MP3, due its ability to compress file size more efficiently while providing quality similar to uncompressed audio.
For best results, use VLC media player to open AAC files. Alternatively, AAC also opens by default in iTunes. AAC files are ubiquitous, however, and open in many other programs and software.
Additionally, since AAC files often serve as the audio files for video games, they open on most popular gaming consoles, such as Nintendo 3DS and Playstation 4.
