I downloaded a file that is supposed to be a video ripped from an HDTV. The extension is .tp? Sounds fake to me, I used both AVICodec and GSpot to try and figure out what type of video file it is. AVICodec said it was an MPEG1 but I couldn’t open it in WinDVD or Windows Media Player (both of those usually play MPEG1, right?). GSpot said it was not an AVI file. Anybody have an idea of what to do? I really want to see the video!!
As i understand it. A TP file is a type of mpeg1. I have a FusionHDTV card, when it records HD programs it creates a TP file.
I don’t know of another program that can play that file. Perhaps the DivX player?
The Dvico software includes a converter for those silly files.
Thanks for the reply! I downloaded FusionHDTV software but I have to get the serial to run it. Maybe it’s asking too much but it’d be super nice if you could give me the serial just so i can watch this file and then be done with it. :)

Wait a second. HDTV is a MPEG2 stream if that matters anymore. Yes they are ".tp” files and I have downloaded a few samples. I use MPlayer on Mac OS X and it can decode them OK. (There are some errors with sound loosing sync, but it is a beautiful image.) In fact, I now own 2 HDTV cards, one for my Dual G5 and another for my Linux box.
:)
Hey, me again. I just tried VideoLAN client and that works too to decode HDTV.tp files.

.tp files are also used by MyHD MDP-120 HDTV tuner and capture card.
Where did you download the samples/
Thanks
You can use a free program that needs no Serial number. Use VLC to watch HD files with the TP ext.

I have an HD stream generator (hardware) that plays those files. They’re usually for stores to send one signal to several tvs...Where did you find the files to download?
DJ Guy, I just picked one of these up secondhand for my A/V store. It didn’t come with a remote or a manual. I’ve tried putting in retail DVDs to copy them to the hard drive, but in the Update menu it doesn’t list any titles. Does it require a special disc, or that files on the disc already be in .tp format? I purchased it under the impression it would encode DVDs to its internal hard drive.
You can convert it to other type files :
/http://www.tpconverter.com/
or
You can open it with KM player (tp codec)
all you have to do is drag the tp file onto the controller of the VLC file. and it should play.
You may kindly send to me the file and I’ll try to change the file type. Give me your email address while I’ll send to you mine. Kindly sent it to : jerome_culang@yahoo.com
there are a fair few 3D movie files that use the .tp file type i use cyberlink powerdvd 11 to view them also as others have said vlc works fine on HD files just not 3d
I have a great little video recorder from divico called the Tvix. It records broadcasts in 'tp' format. I recently bought the AVS4YOU program suite with lifetime upgrades and to my suprise has proven to be worth every penny. I’ve spent days hunting for codec paks and hours configuring them. Now, everything I play runs rite out of the box with this software. I haven’t found anything that it won’t play or convert. Hope that helps any of you weary searchers.
