The Sony PSP (Playstation Portable) really is a wonderous device. Right out of the box, it'll play Movies, MP3s, Video Games, Stream TV and Audio from an external source, Connect to the Internet and browse web pages...uh, did I mention that it'll play games too?
Now, some ambitious developers have created programs that extend the functionality of this wonderous device. Yes, Homebrew development is happening, and that, my friend, is why this is a MUST HAVE unit.
My mission, to ensure that I collect here, all the Cool Stuff that this happy little puppy can do.
Joy.
Convert DVD to PSP in 4 easy steps.
...with a little downloading to set things up.
Convert DVD to PSP in 4 easy steps:1) Rip the DVD to its component files using DVDShrink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd_shrink)
2) Convert the video files to a single .avi using Auto Gordian Knot (http://www.autogk.me.uk/). Default settings work fine. Set the output size to 1 CD (700mb).
3) Convert the .avi to a PSP format (MP4) file with PSP Video 9 (http://www.pspvideo9.com/)
4) Copy the resulting .mp4 and .thm files to your psp's MP_ROOT\100MNV01 folder
Enjoy
