Both containers can carry H.264, so this conversion is largely a container change rather than a full re-encode. That keeps quality intact and makes it fast.
If the source has subtitles baked in as a separate track, they will not survive: F4V does not support embedded subtitle streams.
Alternate audio tracks are dropped, because F4V carries one audio stream where TS allows several.
Resolution is capped by the target format. TS handles up to uhd4k material, while F4V is designed for hd, so higher-resolution sources are scaled down.
Expect the bitrate to move from roughly 15 Mbps to about 6 Mbps at 1080p, and file size to follow.
Converting TS to F4V means moving audio out of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream container, introduced in 1995, and into Flash MP4, which arrived in 2007. The two were designed with different priorities, and that is what determines whether this conversion costs you quality, storage, or compatibility.
Developed by MPEG in 1995, TS stores audio using MPEG-2, H.264, H.265. That codec choice sets the upper bound on what any conversion can preserve.
F4V, from Adobe and dating to 2007, uses H.264 and plays natively on 0 of the six platform categories we track. That combination is usually why people convert into it.
