DVD to PSP Question

[Trash Master]

Hi guys. I am having an issue with getting a compaitble file to work on my PSP. I made a .d2v file from a dvd. My final output is 368x208 xvid but it's saved as .m4v. I need to know if that is an exceptible video format. Now the audio. When I try to mux the m4v I made with vdub and the mp4 I made with Belight I get this error.
Unknown input file type
Error importing F:\TV Caps\blah_1.mp4: Feature Not Supported
(Feature Not Supported)
(Feature Not Supported)


Can you let me know what I did wrong. If this is not enough information please let me know & I will get you what you need. Thanks Doom9 team.

Hello Trash Master, and congrats on your first post. :)

To start off, the psp can only accept .MP4 video format from
my understanding.
You can also play .AVI and other codecs but, you will need to "mod" your PSP for that... which we don't cover here.

I've never used YAMB personally but, i have used VirtualDubMod
to transcode to PSP. When you mux the audio back, do it with
Nandub, since it handles it better.

Why don't you take a look here:

This could be what you're looking for :)

Nandub? Are you serious? o.O Ugh. avidemux and avimuxgui are far better, even VDM is less messily broken than Nandub, but why bother with avi at all?

Try these threads for PSP, if that tool doesn't work for you, and skip VDM or Nandub junk.

ps: Renaming an avi to m4v doesn't work; if you'd just left it named avi it would have.

Thanks for the input guys. I am running an encode now where I'm saving the file as .MP4 instead of .m4v. Vdubmpeg2 is processing it right now saving it as .MP4. I just looked at the folder where my encode is saved and it is saving as MPEG4 with the QuickTime logo, I figure when I wake up tomorrow morning it will be done. 2-passes. I would use megui but for 2 reasons I don't. DeaththeSheep's guide has me confused on the settings. The version of x264 I am using must be different than the one he used to make the guide. So I don't understand it. 2. I have always trusted Vdub products to encode my video files. I am not expert on the matter just I've always use vdub cause I learned on that. I have also used PSPvideo9 to transcode the file and it did the job. I just don't like the results. I know I should be able to used vdub to encode besweet to transcode then mux the 2 together in a program to get my final file to be compatible on the PSP. I'm really just testing this whole project out just to see the results. I'll keep ya posted on the results. I will use avimuxgui to see if I can get that video & audio to mux. Thanks for the welcome Burning Fury =)

...vdubmpeg2 can't save as mp4, or m4v. No matter what you call it or what type it shows (type and icon are based only on extension, not contents), it's still an avi. Using x264 with vdub is discouraged for two main reasons: it uses the older vfw version of x264 (which doesn't include many newer or advanced options), it outputs only avi (or avi-based ogm and mkv) which causes audio desynch when used with b-frames, rather than mp4 or native mkv which are designed for avc.

If you still want to use it fine, but it'll add more complexity and more steps to making a proper psp mp4. Remember that PSP is very limited and very strict in the format and complexity of videos it can play.

Avidemux, which could use a rename, is the best choice for mp4 support you'll find. It's an NLE like vdub but better integrated with the codecs, and has experimental PSP support built right in. Otherwise, MeGUI has a PSP profile, from which you shouldn't need to change options other than speed (subpixel refinement basically).

There are many restricitons on the formats that the psp is able to play natively, and those change with the differents firmware versions. I suggest that you :search: and look at the site in the signature of deets

Fair warning: Because of the limits on minumum numbers of letters, searching for "psp" returns "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Thanks foxyshadis. I'm getting avidemux now. I been thru so many threads and I haven't been able to figure this out. That's why I wanted to start a thread about it. You guys have been a great help. I'll get back back with ya as soon as I can. I gotta go to work. Thanks.

@Trash Master: You're welcome :)

@foxyshadis: While i can accept the criticism, i must say, that, you're entitled to your own opinion.
I use Nandub to remux my audios, although there are other
alternatives to do so.

In any case, you shouldn't expres yourself like that about this apps.
Must i remind you that these apps. were great (and still are) in their given time?.

Now there are more options to do encodes and what not, but that
does not mean that they are obsolete.

In any case, we're not here to engage in an argument about what is best, but rather, to come up with a resonable solution.

Trash Master mentioned he "learned" on VirtualDub, but the main question is: Who hasn't?

With that said, i hope that we'll look more to the positive side of things.

Cheers ;

you can remux xvid in avi to mp4 with yamb/mp4box (when not messing around with the extensions)

after that you need to mess around the nice mp4 created with the atomchanger tool for getting a mp4 the dumb psp is able to handle
