.tp video cannot play

Hi everyone. I have recently recorded a movie by satellite receiver in .tp format, but the codec software cannot play it in windows 8. What should I do?

The video might be encrypted. That is usually the case if your receiver uses a smartcard.

Google for "satellite receiver decrypt recorded video" to find ways to decrypt the video.

You're probably using a decoder from the satellite tv company to decrypt the videos and then send it to the TV.

I don't know how you record the videos but the only way to record videos without it being encrypted is to take the video from the HDMI output. You will need an HDMI splitter that strips the HDCP and then send it to the recorder completely raw.

If you use the decoder itself to record it, they most likely encrypt the files using something built-in to prevent it from playing outside of the decoder. This means that you will have to play it through the decoder. The decryption key is probably stored somewhere in the decoder firmware but that's gonna be really hard to figure out. External recorder is the way to go if you want to play videos outside of the decoder.

No, there are sometimes ways to extract the encryption key from the recording device.
