The simple answer:
MPEG-TS still exists because it’s still the best media container/transport system in existence.
It was designed and has evolved over a long time based on solid foundations by very smart people in the industry, across multiple institutions and professions.
As opposed to the “format du jour” that was quickly thrown together by some eastern block script kiddie who saw the basic outline of an AVI file and figured they could do better…
Case in point: MPEG-TS has scaled from DVD across BluRay (and DVD-HD) is the backbone of both satellite and terrestrial digital broadcasting.

- NikkiA 3y agoAlthough many DVD video recorders did use MPEG-TS (I don't even know if you can buy a new DVD recorder anymore, I assume HD recorders destroyed their market over a decade ago)

It provides solid technical information but plenty of theory and extrapolation on these ideas to ensure that you truly understand their purpose. After reading it I had a much deeper appreciation of what it took to define it.
