- Description
- THP is a video file format developed by Nintendo for use in GameCube and Wii games. It stores compressed video and audio data optimized for streaming from optical discs on Nintendo's consoles. The format is commonly used for cutscenes, intros, and other full-motion video sequences in first-party and licensed titles.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
