Convert TS to MP4
The tracks are usually re-encoded, which costs a little quality. If the TS already carries codecs MP4 accepts, they are copied as they are and nothing is lost.
They open in the converter with MP4 selected.

What changes
Only if your TS already has H.264 or H.265 video with AC-3 or AAC audio does MP4 accept it as it is, so the converter copies the tracks without re-encoding, in seconds and with no loss. If not, or if you change the quality, size, scale or trim, the video is decoded and compressed again, and loses a little more detail.
If it’s copied, it’s about the same size as the TS: only the container changes. If it’s re-encoded, it gets smaller: MP4 stores the same content in less space.
Your browser may not be able to open TS files, but the converter reads the file itself, so it can still convert it.
When it’s worth it
Choose MP4 for: Phones, websites, social networks, and TV. Small files for the quality, usually with H.264 or H.265 inside.
Stay with TS for: TV recordings and transport streams.

Questions
Does converting TS to MP4 lose quality?
Usually a little, because the video is compressed again. Only files that already carry a codec MP4 accepts are copied without loss.
What is the MP4 format?
A container that holds a video track, one or more audio tracks and metadata, and nothing else: which codec sits inside is a separate question. H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio is the combination almost everyone means by MP4.
What is the TS format?
The MPEG-2 transport stream, the broadcast container used by digital television and by recording equipment. It sends video, audio and service data in small fixed-size packets that can be decoded out of order, which is exactly what makes live TV possible.
Are the files uploaded?

How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
