converting .avi to play on psp but with adding a .srt file


Recommended Posts

hi

i have a korean dvd i want to put on my psp

so i downloaded it because i dont have a dvd drive

and it has the .avi movie, and a .srt file for the subtitles

if i open the movie with VLC media player, it plays with no subtitles, but if i drag and drop the english .srt file into the player, the english subtitles appear

how to i make a file that will play on the psp and also show the english subtitles?

(if this is posted in wrong section, please move)

thanks

the media players on both the PSP and PS3 do NOT support the mp4 container to the spec. I've tried using various methods (from command line tools to GUI-tools) to convert files and adding a subtitle file in the container - it wil NOT play.

Your only option is to hardcore the subtitles into the videofile using software like VirtualDub or something, then encode it to something the PSP likes... but the method you describe "just dragging and dropping" isn't possible on the PSP - mainly because you can't drag and drop, and even if you could - you're PSP wouldn't be able to since the mp4 format isn't 100% correctly supported.

You could also check out videohelp.com and doom9.org, they've got some better info :) and probably broken the above down better so everyone can understand ^^

    • I absolutely hate how they are using intentionally misleading wording to scare people into "upgrading" their operating system. They could use the money they are spending on marketing to keep Windows 10 running for, like, 10 more years.

    • This tool is for ripping CDs not burning them. So it's to save cd audio tracks as files. Simple old tool to do it. For burning I used to use Nero Burning Tools back in the day rather than the ones you listed.

    • Microsoft Build conference to leave Seattle after years in the city by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft Build is a flagship annual developer conference held by Microsoft since 2011. In 2017, Microsoft relocated Build from San Francisco to its home turf in Seattle. The proximity to its main campus allowed greater participation from its own engineers and executives, offering attendees a more integrated experience. Today, Jonathan Choe revealed on X that Microsoft has decided to move its Build developer conference out of Seattle. He discovered this information via an email sent by Visit Seattle to its members. Visit Seattle is a private, non-profit destination marketing organization that promotes travel to Seattle and King County. As a result of the move, Seattle-based hotels could lose approximately 9,314 room nights annually. Surprisingly, Visit Seattle’s message included several details about Microsoft’s reasons for the change. The primary reason appears to have come from within Microsoft itself. The company feels that Build lost momentum post-COVID, and the scheduling conflict with Google I/O, a competing event, has made it harder to attract the intended audience. Microsoft’s leadership believes they can better re-energize the program and boost attendance by moving it out of Seattle. The note even suggests that Build will likely be relocated to San Francisco or Las Vegas in 2026. Another factor contributing to the decision is the condition of the city. Last month, during the conference, Microsoft leadership and attendees walked between the Hyatt Regency and the Arch building on 8th Street. Reportedly, there were complaints about the general uncleanliness of the area, the visible presence of individuals using drugs, and unhoused individuals in a recurring tent in the Arch Tunnel. Visit Seattle believes these concerns also played a role in Microsoft’s final decision to relocate Build. Given Microsoft's high-profile presence and the economic impact of the event, this relocation may spark a political storm within the Seattle mayor’s office, drawing criticism over the city’s handling of downtown conditions.
