About TDP files
A .TDP file typically serves as a proprietary data container for one of several unrelated software applications. The most common use is storing digital tachograph data via Tachosys systems, which track driver hours and vehicle speeds for commercial fleets. Alternatively, .TDP files act as project files for ArcSoft ShowBiz, a legacy DVD authoring and video editing tool. In industrial manufacturing, .TDP files store Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) data for Hexagon PC-DMIS. The massive disadvantage of the .TDP format is its severe fragmentation and closed, proprietary nature. If you receive a .TDP file, you usually cannot open it without purchasing the exact software that created it. For instance, an ArcSoft .TDP file does not contain actual video data, only references to media files on the original creator's hard drive. It cannot be directly converted to an MP4 or MKV video using a standard converter. Because these formats lack public specifications, standard online converters universally fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. We can inspect the file, analyze its internal signature, and show raw text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TDP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TDP file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use Tachosys or similar software from the "Proprietary Application Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to TDP, try Tachosys or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Application Data" category.
The TDP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TDP converter.
