Hey! Thanks for this!

I see the change log above mentions that ".ts" is supported (#23), but when I right-click on a ".ts" file, "File Converter" doesn't appear as an option.

I restarted "explorer.exe", but that didn't help.

Thanks again!

Oh I forgot to set it up in the default preset, my bad, I'll prepare a fix.
You can open the settings and check the .ts checkbox in the video preset to activate in on ts files.
