Remove ads from TS file - Here's how

There are several ways to remove ads from TS files. Either you convert the TS files into another format or you edit the TS files directly. In this article we present both ways.

Remove advertisements from TS files with the TS-Doctor

With the paid TS editing program "TS-Doctor" from Cypheros you can edit your TS files directly without having to convert the source file. The program works very precisely with the frames. The highlight: the program automatically recognizes the advertising based on the audio track. The manufacturer offers a free trial version.

1. After you have inserted a file under "File"> "Open", the program analyzes the TS file and eliminates errors.
2. Now there are two ways to cut the video stream. Under "Edit"> "Advertising Detection" you can have the AC3 audio track automatically recognize the advertising. Advertising in the soundtrack is often louder than the actual broadcast. The program automatically adds the intersection points.
3. You can also edit the TS file manually with "Prepare cut" in the lower toolbar. The tools for setting the crop marks are located under the timeline. Navigate to the starting point of the advertisement. You can work very precisely with the predefined jump labels. Now place a crop mark at the current position. Then navigate to the end point of the advertisement and set the second intersection. Use the scissors to remove the marked area.
4. Click on "OK" and then on the toolbar on "Create new file". The program now creates a new file with the settings of the source file.

If you do not want to spend any money, it is recommended to convert the source file to another format. The currently best free converter available is the "Freemake Video Converter", which can handle the current formats. When installing, pay attention to the additional programs / toolbar that the manufacturer would like to install. With the program you can even edit and cut your TS files before converting.

2. Under "Cut" you set the crop marks for the beginning and the end of the advertisement. You can use scissors to remove the marked area.
3. Confirm your changes with "OK". If desired, the program can also link several TS files together. Next, choose a suitable output format. In the bottom bar you will find numerous formats.
