Normally, PSP homebrews are left to the realm of Windows, with Mac users having to scrape by with the few but admittedly well-made brews (like Prometeus) that agree with OS X. With that said, we introduce dafloyd's PSP video converter, which coincidentally is also his very first post on the forums.

dafloyd explains that the converter is designed to run with Dark_AleX's 3.03 firmwares, and currently runs with three video and three audio predefined bitrates. This being a first release, the brew only runs on 1pass encoding. Lastly, he also explains that this is a GUI for ffmpeg, so some of the more veteran brewers here may find the interface very familiar. Thanks for the effort, dafloyd, and we do hope you'll update this foray into the Mac OS X scene. Make sure to check out the bundle's README and the forum threads for extra details.

I wish I wish I wish...

someone would encode a converter that runs directly from the psp. Download and convert... without the need of a converter.

^Someone - There's nothing to say to such blind outpourings of ignorance I seem to be having trouble with the app. The converted videos wont play on my 3.03 OE-C PSP at no matter what bitrate I use. I'm putting the video file in the VIDEO folder at the root of my PSP. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using a Macbook Pro.

Playback

Put the videos in the PSP:\MP_ROOT\100ANV01\ folder, not the PSP:\VIDEO folder.

Hells No

Do you have any idea how slow that would be? My 1 GHz G4 barely transcodes H.264 (from certain sources) in real-time. That 333 MHz ARM9 would take over 20 hours to convert a 2 hour video. Sorry, I'd rather use my computer.

Bleh

I'm sticking with ffmpegX on this one. It's far more versatile (as in it doesn't JUST convert for PSP), and will convert full-res videos for the PSP (use the PSP pre-set, then change the resolution). The interface seems limiting, and downright fugly. What is it with people thinking that just because they fluff their controls with an over-sized PSP border, it looks great? The PSP looks great in my hands, on my desk, in other people's hands, propped up against something, but not on my screen. Just because QJ announces it as being available, doesn't make it great.

ffmpegX

i love ffmpegX, but every movie it converts is named - on my PSP. This one does the trick. for me its a plus that it JUST converts for PSP, I dont have anything else... Yes the interface is ugly but we can minimize it while converting.

ffmpegX doesn't work for PSP anymore

The latest version of FfmepgX's PSP conversion is totally screwed. If by some miracle you manage to get an h.264 file through it that plays on the PSP - it's wildly out of sync! I've just tested this app and it works flawlessly. Perfect quality, decent file sizes and pretty quick too. Roll on file queing and progress bars! Excellent work.

I'm a fan.

This is a great application. The only thing I need is options for higher bitrates for both audio and video encoding. Other than that, I love it. I hope a new version is released soon offering more options for quality. Two pass would be great too.
