Transport streams can also recover from interruptions during playback, making them
ideally suited for broadcast and streaming applications where noise or network
congestion can lead to interruptions.
• Program streams: These streams contain only one MPEG-2 content channel and its
associated audio. Program streams require an error-free delivery method and are
primarily used for storage or processing within a computer.
By default, the Compressor MPEG-2 encoder creates elementary MPEG-2 steams. You can
configure the MPEG-2 encoder to create transport or program streams and choose whether
they should include audio in the Extras tab. See Extras Tab for more information.
Note: All the Stream Usage settings except Generic output elementary streams. If you
select any of the other Stream Usage settings and then configure the output to be either
a transport or program stream, the Stream Usage changes to Generic. See Stream Usage
for more information.
