What to expect
- TRP is an MPEG-2 transport stream for PVR/set-top-box recordings; matching it often means re-encoding the video, which is lossy.
- Transport streams carry the essential audio/video only; chapters and QuickTime metadata from the MOV are not preserved.
- If the target codec is MPEG-2, expect lower efficiency than the source H.264/HEVC for the same quality.
Frequently asked questions
Does MOV to TRP affect quality?
TRP is an MPEG-2 transport stream holding MPEG-2 or H.264 HD video, the format PVRs and set-top boxes record. Because the stream must match that structure the video is typically re-encoded, which is lossy; where the source is already compatible H.264 it can sometimes be rewrapped instead.
Why convert MOV to TRP?
TRP is the recording format of TV set-top boxes and PVRs from makers like Topfield, Humax and Samsung, so the conversion targets playback or import on that class of device.
What plays a TRP file?
The free VLC media player opens TRP on Windows, macOS and Linux with no extra codecs. To play it on a phone or edit it, converting to MP4 is the usual approach.
What is lost moving from MOV to TRP?
A transport stream keeps the core video and audio; chapters, multiple tagged tracks and QuickTime metadata from the MOV are not carried over, and any re-encode to MPEG-2 reduces quality for a given size.
