TS files are often saved as multiple files on a DVD, i.e. "moviename1.ts," "moviename2.ts," "moviename3.ts," etc. They can be played back by various software DVD players and video editing tools.

Language translation file created by the lupdate utility, which is included with Nokia's Qt SDK; contains phrases and their translations into another language; used for storing translations specific to a particular application.
