transport stream Last modified: Wednesday, May 02, 2007
Abbreviated as TS or MPEG-TS, transport stream is an audio, video and data communications transmission protocol that is specified in MPEG-2 Part 1. The transport stream allows for multiplexing of the digital video and audio, which means the data is combined into a single synchronous transmission bit stream, for transmission over a variety of standard mediums such as DSL, IP, IPv, Ethernet, Cable TV networks, and more. The transport stream is designed to address only the delivery. Storage applications use the program stream.

MPEG-2 Transport vs. Program Stream  We are talking about how MPEG-2 is delivered, NOT how it is encoded. So whether a video is Transport Stream or Program Stream has nothing to do with the quality of the video encoding or the MPEG-2 GOP structure.
