What is strange is why you need to go though all this to convert from the technomate
i also have a kathrein 910 which also has the same format files .trp
and you dont need to do all this
they also play on a pc without any conversion
strange as they are both trp files
i now use my kathrein as it is easier
thanks
One would like to do more, If just want to watch, why put it on a PC, keep it on the STB.
Anyway handbrake seems to have opportunities: small file from .trp to .mp4 in HD (28715 KB)
If any handbrake specialists around with suggestions or best settings to use and what output format? To keep the same HD quality and possible play it on hardware mediaplayer?

I used a dream box 7000 and just got a tecnomat 6800 super .and i used the same mpeg_streamclip .exe and it was ok no probloms at all just convetd to mpg 2.
Well just to add in MY 'four penneth', in much more simplistic terminology, which I feel MAY have been the original intention of the thread starter (?), I have a TM6900HD Super and a Panasonic 'HD Ready' DVD recorder (with HDMI connection fromk stb to Panasonic) and find its fine writing DVDs as I always have - not convnced I get 'true' HD results, but so far that hasnt really concerned me - as long as I can actually WRITE DVDs from the TM6900.
The only thing I havent tried is to use my USB connection for this as I am happy using one (the back one) USB for my 500GB had disc for recordings and my other one (at the front) for the occasional software updates!
Hope this helps?:cheers2:
Cost of storage on external drives is now less than 7p/GB which is pretty close to DVDR. I don't see the point of all the hassle of transcoding/buring/storage when you can keep everything on a HD, and just buy a new one when it's full :)
I have copied all my dvd rips and downloaded films onto portable media, and it is so much easier to manage, plus you don't have to worry about the kids scratching the disks, losing them down the back of the sofa etc...
The next step for me will be a NAS, on which I can put all my CD's, DVD's, photos, and all the downloads. It is definately the way to go for the future.
You might be right mate, but when youve got several different sources (e.g. grandkids, kids, friends) requiring to see either downloaded or recorded films, progs, etc I personally prefer the more 'portable' route of DVD's - pros & cons both ways!:party:Quote:

True mate - good point!:respect-067:Quote:

I have videoredo and take files directly from tm6900hdcombo super for editing/burning.
Although the software videoredo doesn't recognise the files and so you cant open the files from videoredo.
HOWEVER
You can open and edsit the .ts files by dragging and dropping into videoredo
Sorry snaps our posts crossed over.
I don't know how to join them either.
yes i can edit files but say i record for an hour and a half on the TM which produces 2 trp files, i can only open the 1st one and just cannot seem to join it with the .001trp file? Why does the TM produce multiple files?
You can play all of the movie.
Video redo seems to break the movie into 1.5Gb chunks. Just drag and drop each section into videoredo to cut bits or into windows media player
- Using H.264TSCutter you can join these files together again.Quote:

All of my .TS and .TRP files play perfectly with Gom player and if I need to edit them I can cut and paste with the Tm6900 super built in editor.
BTW slightly off topic but has anyone been able to play .TRP files on the new TM5302 box as it seems to have a different format for all files.??
Recently acquired a WD live media player and it will play all Technomate files from your hard disc in true 1080P resolution or you could tranfer them to your portable drive with usb connection and plug in to the WD as it has 2 usb inputs and full HDMI output to your Full HD TV!!
Download the freeware "Serviio" and set up a dlna server to connect and share all your PCs media files ,photos, videos and media player TV with a wi-fi router very simple to set up and everything in one place,suits XP,Vista,W7.
