How to convert AVI to TRP
- Add your .AVI 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
- Video is re-encoded into the MPEG-2/H.264 payload of a transport stream, a lossy conversion.
- Transport streams are packetized for broadcast/recording, not chosen for smallest file size or broad device support.
- .trp behavior varies by device vendor, so a stream one PVR wrote is not guaranteed to load on another.
Frequently asked questions
What does TRP give me that AVI does not?
TRP is an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, the recording format used by many HD set-top boxes and PVRs (Topfield, Humax, Samsung and similar). Converting packages the AVI's video into that broadcast-style stream so such devices can index and play it.Is the video re-encoded?
Usually yes. AVI commonly holds DivX/Xvid video, which is re-encoded to the MPEG-2 or H.264 video a transport stream expects, making it a lossy step.
What can play a TRP file?
VLC media player opens TRP on Windows, macOS and Linux with no extra codecs. The set-top boxes and PVRs that use the format play it natively.
Is TRP a good choice for phones or editing?
Not really. TRP targets TV recording hardware; for phones or general editing, MP4 is far more widely supported. TRP is mainly useful when a specific PVR or set-top box needs it.
