- 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.
- Video file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec, which is mainly used for over-the-air, satellite, and cable digital TV signals and DVD video; uses lossy compression for audio and video to significantly reduce the size of the video data; not as efficient as the H.264 format.
