How to convert TRP to MP4
- Add your .TRP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MP4 in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MP4 file.
What to expect
- Remuxing with
ffmpeg -c copymoves streams into the MP4 container unchanged - no quality is lost; re-encoding (HandBrake, online converters) always reduces quality. - AC-3 (Dolby) audio is common in broadcast recordings; many phones and smart TVs refuse AC-3 inside MP4, so convert the audio track to AAC when compatibility matters.
- Older PVR recordings with MPEG-2 video cannot be cleanly remuxed into MP4 - use HandBrake to re-encode to H.264 in that case.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting TRP to MP4 reduce quality?
Not if you remux -
ffmpeg -c copy copies stream data without touching it. Tools that re-encode (HandBrake, online converters) reduce quality depending on the bitrate chosen.My converted MP4 has no audio. What went wrong?
The recording likely carries AC-3 (Dolby) audio, which many devices refuse inside MP4. Re-encode the audio:
ffmpeg -i recording.trp -c:v copy -c:a aac output.mp4.Can I just rename `.trp` to `.ts` and open it?
Yes - TRP is a standard MPEG-2 Transport Stream and many media players accept it under the
.ts extension without any conversion.Why did the FFmpeg remux produce a broken or unplayable file?
The recording probably uses MPEG-2 video, which the MP4 container does not support cleanly. Use HandBrake to re-encode the video to H.264.
