Here's a list of videos that I've already converted to PSP. These have little to no errors in the cutting down of the frame rate. This will be updated as I preview and make more. NES Videos [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/NesDonkeyKongTasVideoForPsp]Donkey Kong[/URL] [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/NesFistOfTheNorthStarTasVideoForPsp]Fist of the North Star[/URL] [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/NesJourneyToSiliusTasVideoForPsp]Journey to Silius[/URL] [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/NesPrinceOfPersiaTasVideoForPsp]Prince of Persia[/URL] SNES Videos [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/SnesKillerInstinctTasVideoForPsp]Killer Instinct[/URL] N64 Videos [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/N64MortalKombat4TasVideoForPsp]Mortal Kombat 4[/URL] Misc. Videos [URL=http://www.archive.org/details/NesSuperMarioBrosAir1HackTasVideoForPsp]Air 1 (SMB1 Hack)[/URL] EDIT: Air (SMB1 Hack) added on 8/20/08 Note: Is it possible for a page editor to like, post links to these for me with a "Download These Onto Your PSP" on the videos or something, please? I'll find more that look alright to be posted as PSP-viewable videos without any choppiness or with as little weirdness as possible in the transcoded video (during gameplay). One other thing I've noticed too is that the converter likes to chew out scenes where nothing is happening (The Amagon movie is a perfect example of it, because at the end of every level, it blacks out after one frame of Amagon standing still.) I'll be adding more videos as I watch through them and see that they look okay to add up here to the list.

It's the best thing I had at the spur of the moment to compress, and I had more than one file to bundle with it anyway. Didn't do that bad of a job with compressing the movie. I just wish my internet was better with uploads so it didn't take over a freaking hour to upload that.

If a compressor program makes the video file considerably smaller, there's something really wrong with the video file.

Yeah, I know. The problem is, there's nothing i can really do about it right now. 3GP_Converter's the only thing that's worked for successful PSP playing for me at this point in time. I don't have any programming smarts or know-how to go about fixing this. I can only hope someone comes along who likes the idea enough to help me out with that. =/

Why do you give your videos such "nonsence" Filenames like M4V00841.MP4 I mean every PSP with a newer firmware (I think it's from 3.0 and above) can read every filename. Oh and you could use Avidemux for making PSP videos or PSP video 9. But Avidemux is better.

The only way the PSP will read the videos is if they're "M4V#####" (Insert your own five-digit number here). It's kind of a pisser, but there's not much you can do about it. However, in keeping with the TAS site thing, I did number each video I put up according to it's publication number.

Necro-posting, bumping, or whatever, but I'd like to try doing a PSP encode thing again, now that there's new management and a lot more new things kicking around. I'm still using 3GB Converter at the moment, but I'm going to check around to see if anything else works. Hopefully it's not going to resist being watched in a PSP, but we'll see what it can do. Does anyone else have a PSP, so that possibly, we can try stuff out and make sure it works? The more help, the merrier. Heck, we could even see if these work in iPods too, if all goes good. I don't personally have one (and I won't unless someone buys one for me), but yeah. Shall we give this another go?

I own a PSP, so I could try simple things with it. (I won't install homebreed nor hack it, though.)

You could also try using SUPER for PSP transcoding. Also, one of the current problems with your upload naming scheme is that it doesn't account for the version of the TAS. For instance, you have "NesDonkeyKongTasVideoForPsp", but it's already obsolete. How are you going to name the new one?

While I can't test it myself (neither do I own a PSP nor do I have the aac encoder installied), but it seems like a oneliner to me according to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-handheld-psp.html. Basically, it should be the console version of what SUPER uses internally.

Has anyone tried, oh I don't know, MeGUI? It has a profile for PSP and many other things besides... You should have 0 problems with framerate, resolution and all that.

MeGUI is still very far from being easy to use, and its PSP profile should be pretty much identical to SUPER's.

While I haven't tried SUPER (it sounds interesting, though, I'll have to give it a try), MeGUI is very easy to use. Goto tools -> avisynth creator, select movie, OK, select profile, enquene. Then select audio file, select audio profile, enquene. Goto quene tab, select start. No, it's not a very fast nor super easy, but it's still not difficult. MeGUI is a very good all-in-one encoder.

To be honest, for me personally, this is way less intuitive than feeding a prepared commandline to MEncoder. :\

I just had a look at SUPER. It probably stands for Super Crap. Loading screen on the top-left of the screen. Horrible GUI. Keeps centering GUI after each friggin' option. Not easy or intuitive to find out how to actually encode rather than mux. Does not auto-detect resolution or fps. No option to select HE-AAC. No profiles. No advanced options for compression. Not to mention their stupid site rejects all download managers. Sorry, the program just sucks. MeGUI is far superior to that one. I can only recommend MeGUI. And I can understand that you feel that way. People are different. That's a fact. I wish it could have been easier, too, but but... it's a tool aimed at professionals first and foremost. Oh and there are things like one-click encoder, but it's not as good or flexible as the manual way.

This has to be the single most ridiculous reason for a program to suck.

You call using some GUI "the manual way"? Then what's using a terminal/command prompt for you? The masochists' way?

Hmmm... the CLI way?

OK, unfortunately, no luck with Avidemux so far. I'm trying to figure it out here, but PSP just seems to really, really like one very specific format that 3GP converter is properly converting it to, and it's beginning to really piss me off, because it halves the frame rate and bumps the file size up for no good reason. I can't really figure out why 3GP Converter is the only one that works. It makes no sense to me. I'll keep trying, but for now, that's all I got. I also got a Mortal Kombat II encode I have to upload, that I'll do later.
