Video Encoding for PSP Playback

The best way to enjoy video on your PSP?

Use the correct software and settings:

1. Video 9 (free download from http://www.pspvideo9.com/) to turn off ads read on
   
2. Just use 3.30 480x272 768kbps stereo 128kbps

Even if you are on a later firmware these settings work the best, until Video 9 update their software!

If you do not want the ads in Video 9 install Kerio firewall and do not allow Kerio to access the internet. No more Ads.

You can convert DivX movies and Podcasts. They may some time so use the batch convert in Video 9 and use the option to shutdown the PC when complete.

Put the files into the \Video directory. Not the \ISO\Video directory which is for UMD video images only.

On the 3.7x and later firmware there is the excellent preview mode and this is improved in 3.8x and beyond!

There is talk that Sony will add DivX native support, however the hardware in the PSP can only support a max data rate for video, this will be exceeded in most common (non PSP) Divx files so some recode work may be required.
