do you mind to tell us what the .ts format is?

never heard of that. What kind of sniffer uses that format?

I think the OP is trying to extract an MPEG video stream from a network capture.

Ah, sounds reasonable, now that you mention it :-) I was mislead by the word 'convert'.

One Answer:

In Wireshark, load your pcap file, then choose: File -> Export Objects -> HTTP -> [Select the audio/mpeg file of interest] -> Save As -> filename.mpeg.

From there, use any external software of your choice capable of performing the conversion from .mpeg to .ts. For example, using the VLC media player, you would choose: Media -> Convert/Save -> Add... -> filename.mpeg -> Convert/Save -> Profile: Video - H.264 + MP3 (TS), Destination file: filename.ts -> Start
