x264 and Sony PSP?

is there a way (maybe someone can give guide?) to get a working PSP-AVC from x264 or nero?

What settings should be used?
How to mux audio and video?

thx in advance

http://x264.nl/psp/ (this link is really made for browing with your psp)

Grab: http://x264.nl/psp/x264-psp.exe (self extracting 7zip)

You basically just use the Default x264 settings.
But the PSP requires 15fps or 29.97 to run!

These few files allow you to simply encode with your .avs to a PSP compatible file (also the .mp4 file is edited else it won't play, Atomchanger, http://pspvideo9.com, does this)

readme.txt
Quote:
This is experimental version 0.00001 or 0.000001, and encodes with these x264 settings:
--progress --bitrate <bitrate here> --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --output video.264 psp.avs (Default profile)


1: place your AAC file as audio.aac into the x264-psp dir
2: modify psp.avs, can be your own .avs <-- JUST READ THE NOTES in psp.avs!
3: place the latest x264.exe in the x264-psp dir
4: edit psp.bat and set the bitrate
5: run psp.bat
6: output file: MAQ00264.MP4 copy to PSP:\MP_ROOT\100ANV01\
psp.avs
Quote:
# ... your normal .avs contents here, just note:
# - AviSource("movie.avi", false, fourCC="XVID") - sample how to re-encode your divx/xvid movie to x264-psp
LanczosResize(368,208) # note the PSP resolution (this is widescreen), 320x240 for fullscreen
ChangeFPS(29.97) # note the FPS change to 29.97, needed for PSP AVC playback (remove when your video is already 29.97 FPS)
psp.bat
Quote:
start /belownormal /b /w x264.exe --progress --bitrate <bitrate> --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4 --output video.264 psp.avs
start /belownormal /b /w MP4Box.exe -fps 29.97 -add video.264 output.mp4
start /belownormal /b /w MP4Box.exe -fps 29.97 -add audio.aac output.mp4
start /belownormal /b /w ATOMChanger.exe output.mp4 MAQ00264.MP4 AtomAVC.ini
This is all very basic, but works fine.
If you have used megui with the latest mp4box to create your AAC file in the .mp4 container, you can just do: MP4Box.exe -fps 29.97 -add video.264 megui_audio.mp4 and remove the add audio part!

could someone give me a hint?

I used x264 v291 and v292 ... always the same...

What is your PSP Firmware?
Post your .avs file if used
Post your x264.exe settings
Is the video 29.97 FPS?

New to try:
Your audio file, is it AAC LC? <-- i forgot to mention but your PSP AAC LC file MUST BE 48KHz (48000Hz) (sorry will update it in readme.txt and psp.avs later )

Am playing with this now, as there are some DVD's I am trying to convert, that suffer from lipsync issues, when I use my previous tool (PSPVideo9).

I have my VOB files on my HDD, and using MeGUI, and x264 (latest). My avisynth script is as follows:

Quote:
DirectShowSource("I:\Ripped\Pheonix Nights S1\VTS_02_1.VOB")
LanczosResize(368,208)
ChangeFPS(29.97)
ConvertToYV12()
My meGUI profile is as follows:

</VideoProfile>

I run the resulting file through AtomChanger, and it reports to have changed the atom. The resulting file appears to be unplayable. VideoLAN crashes, Quicktime 7 does not play it, PSP says it's corrupted. I have tried the unAtomchanged version, with the same results (so it's not that).

What is slightly confusing, some peiple seem to be splitting the audio and then encoding the video and audio seperately, and then re-joining, I am not doing this (reading from the VOB), is this my problem???

yes you have to split it.

convert the video with x264 and the audio with besweet...then join them with mp4mux as bob0r said.

I use x264 now to 2pass my Video files... nice quality on the PSP

is there a complete set of video and audio specs for the PSP all in one place? I should be getting one by the end of the week so I might add a flag to the settings that disabled non PSP compliant options / enforces them (I'm not fully decided on how to implement it yet) in MeGUI.
Also one thing, what do you guys do with 25fps content if the PSP can only handle 29.97fps?

Has anyone written a Guide to follow using this method? Especially in the area of using the synth script ?

uhh.. but ChangeFPS only takes care of the video so you'll end up having an audio problem, won't you? Wouldn't you have to perform a proper PAL -> NTSC conversion, including slowing down, pulldown and stretching the audio to make it work properly?

ChangeFPS changes the frame rate by deleting or duplicating frames.
Looks like it doesn't change the video duration, so audio should mostly be in sync, no ?

there is also ConvertFPS (yuy2 only)
it will blend adjacent video frames, the video is smooth (compared to ChangeFPS), but there is some ghosting and lower compressibility

PSP also support 14.985

so basically the only proper way to do it is a proper format conversion. How do other psp encoders handle this? It might give me a movitational boost if I were the only one to do it right, but if there's plenty of tools already I don't see the point in spending a lot of time for a really small audience.

I don't think i'm the most aware (JCVD style ), but seeing all those big company crap or the "total l33t enl4rgement m3gA s0ftW4rE" out there for PSP, i don't think any of them have bothered to deal properly with this.
A clean Doom9 solution would be a Good Thing™ imho.
