How to convert FLV to TRP
- Add your .FLV 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
- If the FLV's video is H.264, it is remuxed into the transport container without re-encoding, so the picture is unchanged; VP6/H.263 sources must be re-encoded and lose some quality.
- Flash cue points and any scripting metadata are not carried into the MPEG-2 transport stream.
- Transport-stream packetization adds a small amount of overhead, so the file size can differ slightly from the original FLV.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting FLV to TRP lower the quality?
If the FLV already holds
H.264 video, ffmpeg can copy that stream straight into the TRP transport stream with no re-encoding, so quality is identical. If the source video is older VP6 or H.263, it must be re-encoded to fit the stream, which is lossy.Why convert FLV to TRP?
TRP is the MPEG-2 transport-stream format that many PVRs and set-top boxes record and play. Converting puts Flash-era video into a form those TV-oriented devices and players can handle.
Where will the resulting TRP file play?
TRP files open in VLC on Windows, macOS and Linux and in many set-top boxes and PVRs. FLV, tied to the discontinued Flash Player, is far less widely supported today.
Does anything get dropped in the conversion?
The transport-stream wrapper carries the video and audio but not Flash cue points or interactive metadata, so those are lost. Only standard timing and stream data remain.
