How to convert your DVD video and video files for Sony PSP

Would you like to convert your favorite DVD to watch it on your PSP, but have no clue what video converter tool will transfer DVD video and video files to a PSP-compatible format? AVS Video Tools solve this problem now. This simple yet powerful video converter utility enables you to transfer your DVD library to PSP (MP4/h.264) format with a few mouse clicks.

What you need:

All you need to transfer your video to your PSP is:

• AVS Video Tools
• PSP mini-USB cable
• a Sony Pro Duo Memory Stick (256MB - 1Gb)

Download and install AVS Video Tools.

Click here to download it. After the download is finished, run the AVSVideoTools.exe file and follow the installation wizard instructions.

Run AVS Video Converter and select your input video file.

To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to Input File Name Field. In the opened Windows Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:

NOTE! When your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X://Video_TS/Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:

It is important to select the IFO file, rather than VOB file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting.
Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video)and if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.

Set up the conversion parameters.

After you have selected the video input file, press To MP4 button on the main panel. In the list of Profiles (MP4 Profile Field) select one of the offered PSP profiles. You can also click Edit Profile button to manually set the PSP profile parameters.

For novice users it is recommended to select one of the default PSP profiles.

If you would like to change the video file parameters you can open the Profile Editor and input the following information:

• Name: PSP MP4 - Highest Available Quality (MPEG4, 29.97 fps, 368x208; MPEG4 AAC LC)
• Description: Video: MPEG4 - best quality, 29.97 fps, 368x208 x 144; Audio: MPEG4 AAC LC 128 kbps,24000 Hz, Stereo
• Comment: (optional)
• Video Format: MPEG-4--best quality
• Frame size: 368x208
• Audio Format: MP2/4(AAC LC) 128Kbps
• File Type: PSP
• Framerate: 29.97fps
• Width: 368
• Height: 208
• Frequency: 24,000Hz
• Channels: Stereo

Note: You will not be able to change the Frequency parameter and it will always be 24,000 Hz for Sony PSP. The File Type parameter must also be set to PSP so that your Sony PSP could read and playback it properly.

Set up a proper video output file path.

Click the Browse... button next to Output File Name field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file.

NOTE! It is important that when you select a location for your output video file, you should save the file to your HDD, not to the Memory Stick directly.

As you know, PSP "understands" only specific file names and a specific file structure. The file for a Sony PSP should be named like this: MV4XXXXX.mp4, where XXXXX is a five (or four) digit number. In our case it really does not matter as the video file will be automatically renamed prior to sending it to the PSP.

Convert your DVD files.

After you have set up all the conversion parameters, hit the Convert Now! button to start converting.

The result of the conversion should be a video file with .mp4 extension that will be transferred to your PSP with the help of the AVS Mobile Uploader application. It will be launched automatically when the conversion process is over.

Transfer the converted video file to PSP.

Connect your PSP to your computer with the help of a mini-USB cable. Turn on the PSP. Select USB connection in the Settings menu.

The AVS Mobile Uploader application will be launched to guide you through the upload process so that you could send your converted video file to your Sony PSP with no difficulty.

If the Sony PSP is not displayed in the AVS Mobile Uploader window you should press the Find Devices button to search for your PSP:
