[TUTORIAL] Format Factory

Image unavailable (removed by its host) Image unavailable (removed by its host) [align=center]How to encode a video so that it's
playable on Psp
[/align]
The Psp can play movies on Umd (mini disc in proprietary format Sony), but it can also play movies or clips from memory stick provided you give it the right video format. It's able to play MP4 andAVC, but the video still needs to be the right size for the Psp's. screen. There's a piece of software that lets you quickly encode videos for the Psp, it's called Format Factory. So let's start by downloading this software. Download
This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.
Once downloaded, install it, but be careful with the final screen, you need to uncheck all the boxes.
Otherwise, your internet browser will end up with a new toolbar and a pretty useless search engine.
Image unavailable (removed by its host) Once the installation is finished, you can launch Format Factory! There we go, Format Factory is open, we're going to switch it to French, go to "Language" and scroll down to "Select language". Image unavailable (removed by its host) Choose French. Image unavailable (removed by its host) Now, click on the icon the red arrow points to, this icon is called "All types to mobile device". Image unavailable (removed by its host) Choose the format you want, for this video I chose "PSP 368x208 MPEG4 Widescreen". Then click on Ok Image unavailable (removed by its host) A new window opens, click on add a file and point it to the video to encode. At the bottom of the window, click on "browse" to give it the output directory for the video. Then click on Ok! Image unavailable (removed by its host) Now go to Option. Image unavailable (removed by its host) Check that "Creer PSP The" is checked (this software is badly translated, since it's actually Thm). Image unavailable (removed by its host) A Thm is an image of your video that will appear on your Psp. The check is done, click on Ok. And now click on "Start". Image unavailable (removed by its host) Once the conversion is finished, connect your Psp to your pc via Usb and copy your video and the Thm file into the video directory of your Psp. If everything's ok, take your Psp in hand and head to video and scroll down to memory stick Image unavailable (removed by its host)
Now press X and you should see your video ready to be watched. Image unavailable (removed by its host) This software is a real gem, you can encode pretty much anything with it ( Psp, Ps3, Xbox 360, Archos , etc....) I highly recommend it!

I tried it, the videos don't work :( recognized but doesn't launch. I got the impression it's because of a default setting. compression set to "hight" when it needs to be "low".
