Sony PSP

[Cyrana]

Xaviek, sorry but I have no idea what you are asking. Can you repost with sentences and stuff so we can understand? (not being mean, I really can't follow!)

[forster]

sigh - he meant, to anyone who can read, 'what was the total cost of the psp items in the photos'.

The answer being, about twice as much as they would cost now. Im pretty sure the costings are somewhere in the first few pages of this thread.

Nice review and excellent images.

The keyboard, BTW, is the Logitech Bluetooth one, I think.

Hello again, I was wondering about the memory cards that you can buy for the PSP. I've been looking around and I had my eye on a 1 Gigabyte one. However when I try to use the 3GP Converter and the PSP video 9 I can only get the movies that I want to be just over one gig. :crazy: These movies are all at 700 or under M.B. and they are all AVI format, I'm not sure my the product file is larger than the source file. I know that you can change the quality of the video with those two programs and it will produce a smaller file, but I'd like to avoid that. I also tried to use a AVI compresser and it didn't do that much at all. :wacko: I couldn't find an MPEG 4 compressor. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Also has anyone heard of any memory card for the PSP that could hold more like 2 Gigs?

Any suggestions at all will be appreciated. :happy:

IIRC, you can get 2gb memory sticks too, but they'd be pretty expensive. Can't you just lower the quality?

youre not using psp video 9 correctly, 700mb compressed avi shouldnt become higher, especially at MOVIE resolutions, which are 843x480 (or something), while the PSP size can only be 368x208, thats more than 50% of the pixels that are eliminated!

looks awesome...

Heres a pic of my PSP :D

How am I using it incorrectly? I open the program and I pick the file I want and convert it. I don't mess with the settings because I want the default highest quality for the PSP. It's also not the compressing that makes the file larger. Although I can see how you might of gotten lost in my post. The compressing usually takes the file down about 1 MB or 2. The file gets larger when I'm using the PSP video 9 or 3GP converter. I do agree with you in how this makes no sense with the pixel ratio. :wacko:

If anyone can help me out please respond, even a "your screwed" is better than nothing.

Can you post a link where the memory cards are 2GB? Or did you just hear about it? I don't want to lower the quality because I wanted my movies to look their best on the PSP, if I have to resort to it I will though.

[Breadtangle77]

I did go to IIRC and had no luck finding it, that's why I asked you in the last post if you could give me a link :alien:

Well, they are hard to find in stock anywhere but sony style...

But if you use froogle or something similar you can find some suggested prices for them and a few places seem to have them.

The price is way too high currently, I just got a 1GB card for now.

Thanks for the advice, actually inbetween posts I ended up getting a 1GB card from Best Buy, I think that I can fit anything on there that I want although possibly lacking in quality for some movies because of the output MPEG4 files I'm getting with default resolution and sound.

I also got my card for $65 rather than the average $173 for Sony's 2GB card. :D

I'd still like any suggestions from anyone on this forum about the movies and converting them to MPEG4 format.

By the way, how are your videos turning out on your 1GB card Cyrana? Have you put any movies on it so far?

[Noveed]

hey i got a question about the PSP... dont flame me or out im a liitle noob on this topic...

so anyway here it goes..

PSP is region Free and im thinking of getting it imported or sent as a gift from america or from one of my relatives in india... Just wondering about UMD movies coz all PSP games will/should work coz thier regoin free but what about UMD movies? will they work or will they be restricted to the Region you got it from? Also when playing movies what file formats can the PSP play and can it play DivX and other codecs?...

1) no way in hell you got a 1GB pro duo for $65, ESPECIALLY from bestbuy

2) 2GB pro duo cost $400

[crazihouse]

LOL.... 65$ for a 2GB?

Unless that memory stick duo was "burrowed" from an unsuspecting PSPer without his or her knowledge, I'd say that is most likely impossible.

And, like Gotchaforce said just earlier, there is no 173$ average 2GB memory stick duo.

No, no, I got a 1 GB card for $65 and it wasn't a pro duo and it was on sale. It will still work with the PSP only it might transfer and delete files a little slower but who cares?:p

Ahh! I can't wait to get my Sony PSP!

I am receiving one for free from Gratis... you know the 'freepsp' site?

I should be expecting it in the next 10 days, according to the website. :woot:

Yeah... my friend Danny really got scammed...

I'll be sure to private message you, once I get it in my hand. They're sending the order to the vendor. Once the vendor gets the order, it's at my doorstep.

That's very interesting.:shifty: I went to the site that you put up and went through some of the steps. However when it came to the different offers and you had to choose one of them to complete to move on it needed a credit card number, social security number as well as a monthly payment for each offer. Tell me, how did Danny bypass that or is he paying a monthly fee or something.:blink:

I was also wondering if Dazzla's listening in; how did you got the Finding Nemo movie on a 512MB card, did you compress the file, did you use an avi file or something else, was it lower than default quality?:wacko: I'm getting around 1GB for each of my movies.:angry:

if you use the default psp video 9 configuration for "movie (0-2h)" at the bottom of the list it will come in around 480. If you have a 1GB i suggest going for the 368x208/29.97 fps 768kbps stereo/128kbps. This is optimal quality considering the bitrate is definitely enough for almost any movie out there, and the sound is perfect, unfortunately the movies way in just under 800mbs for 2 hours.

Thanks for the advice, although is there anything wrong with the 368x208/29.97 fps 1500kbps stereo/128kbps? It's just a one up on the sound; although you mentioned it's perfect on the PSP. Does the aspect ratio of pixels matter too, I mean is there a difference between 368x208 and 320x240? I thought that they all would widen to the length of the PSP's screen. Which files are you using? I'm using the default setting with around 700MB avi files and they're comming out to be around 1GB or over(I have a 1GB card). Anyhow I'll do some experimenting with those settings tomorrow, right now sleep beckons. :sleep:
