So I downloaded some southpark episodes the other day and decided to put some on my psp MS. I'm using the PSP Video 9 software. Now can someone help me out with this. The starting size of the file, that I view at excellent quality full-screen on my computer monitor, is 46MB, while the psp converted video, which is played on a much smaller screen is quite larger than the original file. Actually it's 69MB. Shouldn't this be the other way around?

I thought that putting these videos on a psp would make the file sizes significantly smaller. Is it my settings? What am I doing wrong? Someone send me the answer to properly converting videos onto my psp.

This particular video conversion was of an AVI. I'm using the default profile of "Anime 0-2hrs". How the hell am I supposed to rip movies if these damn videos are like 60% bigger than the original files?

BTW I have read all the other threads on this kind of topic, but as you can tell I haven't taken anything from them.

thats what you get for pirating tv shows!


you're probably encoding at a higher bit rate

 

[Vallarfax]

How do I find that out? under profiles it says a constant bitrate of 216kbps, and 48kbps audio rate.

when you encode there should be an option

I believe that's the lowest bit rate you can select, so there's not much more you can do about the file size.

And now, I will hijack this thread to ask: How do you get PSPV9 to NOT reformat widescreen videos to full screen (by altering the aspect ratio)?? It seems to do so under every video setting I've tried?

What is the highest video bitrate the PSP can process without any drop in image performance? I strongly doubt that 1500bps is the max.

Go to setup->profile: check "Crop input video pixels by"

Normally 50 pixels on top and 50 on bottom should do it. You may have to play around with this setting a bit until you get it right, since every video may be different.
