How to convert 3GP to TRP
- Add your .3GP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TRP in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TRP file.
What to expect
- 3GP video that is not already transport-stream-friendly is re-encoded into MPEG-2/H.264, a lossy step; matching codecs may only be re-muxed.
- Transport-stream packetization adds overhead, so expect the TRP to be no smaller, often larger, than the source.
- TRP targets PVR/set-top-box playback; general phones and browsers may not open it without conversion back to something like MP4.
Frequently asked questions
Is the picture quality kept when converting 3GP to TRP?
TRP is an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, so the 3GP video is re-wrapped and, where codecs differ, re-encoded into a transport-stream-compatible form. The result cannot exceed the low-bandwidth quality the 3GP already carries.
Why turn a 3GP into a TRP?
TRP is the recording format many HD set-top boxes and PVRs (such as Topfield, Humax and Samsung devices) expect, so converting lets a phone clip fit a transport-stream playback or recording workflow.
What opens a TRP file after conversion?
TRP is an MPEG-2 transport stream, so VLC opens it on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the PVRs/set-top boxes that use the format can read it too.
Does the file get larger?
Transport streams add fixed 188-byte packet framing and are generally less space-efficient than the compact 3GP container, so the TRP is often larger for the same content.
