What is a TRM file?

TRM files mostly belong to ForTheRecord Transcript Player. TRM Files serve many purposes depending on the context in which they are used.
They can be used as trial recording files in digital court systems. In this case, the file uses the RIFF format to hold audio and metadata from court sessions.
They may also appear as Trim data files that use XML to store GPS information. This data is often used with mapping or surveying applications. More details can be found at this webpage.
Other TRM files hold 3D terrain model data used in geospatial systems, a format seen in applications like Trimble Business Center.
Some are terminal emulation data files that log session data for technical terminal operations.
In gaming, TRM files can store Tomb Raider Model data that includes 3D model geometry. For community help on this format, visit Tomb Raider Forums.
Additionally, a few TRM files are used as archival containers in a PDF Portfolio format, which you can view with Adobe Acrobat (Adobe Acrobat).
FilExt.com tip: Before opening a TRM file, it helps to check its internal signature to see whether it is a recording, a data file, or a model. This will guide you to the correct software for viewing or editing the file.
