This is a full transcode rather than a container swap, because MPEG-2 is not one of the codecs WMV carries. Every frame is decoded and re-encoded as WMV9.
If the source has subtitles baked in as a separate track, they will not survive: WMV does not support embedded subtitle streams.
Alternate audio tracks are dropped, because WMV carries one audio stream where TS allows several.
Resolution is capped by the target format. TS handles up to 4K UHD material, while WMV is designed for Full HD (1080p), 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 WMV moves the video from the MPEG-2 Transport Stream container, introduced in 1995, into ASF, which arrived in 1999. Whether the picture is re-encoded or copied across depends on the codecs both containers accept.
Developed by MPEG in 1995, TS carries MPEG-2, H.264, or H.265 video and AAC, AC-3, or MP2 audio. That combination sets the upper bound on what any conversion can preserve.
WMV was introduced by Microsoft in 1999. It carries WMV9 or VC-1 video with WMA audio and plays natively on Windows.
