Violent serenity.
^^Its something like PSPVideo Converotr 09...

I use Magic Video Convertor.

One more is there called WinAVI MP4 Convertor

Another one albeit a paid one is Xilisoft Video Convertor.

I have used PSPvideo 9, Xvid4PSP and what not... But it takes about 5-7 hours to convert a 700MB movie. Does it depend on system config? What are the average times you guys spend on movie conversion?

BTW my config:
AMD 64 3000+
512MB RAM
240 GB HDD
Win XP SP3

i started using this pspvideo9 since last week and it has been working well though converting 700 mb does take around 20 mins ...enjoyed heroes season 1 and 2 and prison break after converting.have stopped using laptop to watch movies these days actually :D

In btw guys great to see psp fans on the forum - have been scratching my head real hard
to install cfw on ma slim. only problem have no pandora battery around and no fat psp.
was wondering if someone can help me here !!!!

can't wait to have my ff8 on psp !!!

any pointers ??

IMHO it has probably to do with the settings you are using for conversion.
going with default settings without enhancing video(the quality is still decent) it took me round 20 mins for a 700 mb file on an intel core 2 duo xp sp2.

welcome to the PSP fan forum.. :D

well, i dnt think anyone here has a pandora batt.. but wait a min,... i think maxdemon (the user with this username) has this stuff.. so wait a day and he'll reply in this thread and help u.. :)

also, wat game are u currently playing ??

btw, so are u on an OFW (official firmware) ??

im on CFW 3.90 m333 and currently playing Puzzle quest.. :)

Yup, i agree to ur point wherein u said the default setting for converting vids for PSP.. :) i think he must jus be applying alot of enhancing techniques and hence the delay.. :)

hey ! thanks for the reply Ashu !
I got the method of making Pandoras battery but the hitch is to play my games i will again have to revert to normal.So having a Pandora (good name for da battery -how did they come up with it ? Reminds me again and again of Pandora's Temple stage in GOD of War - Real fun to beat !!!! Any suggestions for a good game in that category ? ) battery around and a cfw enabled psp makes it a real breeze.

Trying to catch some good samartian in Bangalore :) Would be fun !
How about a small meet up ? we used to do it quite frequently on another forum .

In btw i have got ofw 5.xx running on my psp (i know iknow - i intentionally upgraded it from 3.95 , found out that dark alex alreaddy has the corresponding cfw out !thyought what the heck ! we will experiment with the latest !!!
Playing Ridge Racer 2 , finished around 80% (Had fallen in love with R4 when i played it on PS1 8 years ago ! Loved the tracks ,loved the music -always felt r4 brings a style to racing games that no other ,feels like you are driving in some beautiful locations with some gr8 music playing !

wich batt are u using ? ?the same 1200mAH that PSP S&L originally has, right? ?? so how come the battery drain still shows 24% remaining inspite of watching 3 movies ?? :O:O is this normal for the batt. to last so long .. ??

HI, Sry for the late reply .

I am using the standard 1200mAH battery, I saw three English movies(not long hindi ones) so total play time was roughly 5 hrs. I played the movies on lowest+1 brightness level (night time, higher brightness is strain on eyes) and had underclocked the xmb cpu settings (not very low or the movie wud become choppy, but i think the battery power was saved this way).

For video conversion i use PSPVideo9 or Xillisoft converter, and i convert movies to best settings for video and audio with full resolution 480x272, no compromise on quality :D . Does not take much time , 5 hrs to convert a movie is insane , check the compression settings you have done.

@ashu, looks like you are stuck with puzzlequest :D .

I am having hard time Defeating Lord Bane, that is the last fight and i am not still through it , so stuck on 99% :(

Reinstalled the codecs. Now PSPVideo9 is showing an estimated time of 59 min to convert a top gear episode (1 hour in length). Not bad. Not bad at all...

And bought a Sony MDR EX32LP In-ear earphone. Awesome sound.
Rs. 1090 at Sony Center.

Well, im in mumbai, so meeting with u personally wont be possible..i guess.. :)

Also, the Pandora batt is NOIT named this way by Sony (i hope u must also be knwing this), its probably a glitch in the batt. wich was found by sum geeks and hence they named it this way.. but yes i agree its a cool name this.. Pandora :D

For good games like GOW, well its unique in its own category, (we all knw it) :D, but yes if u like tactical shooters, then the SOCOM series and Syphon Filter series of games are a real blast, but the GOW type of games wud be the PRINCE OF PERSIA (POP) series..

btw, u shud also try out sum lesser known titles like Puzzle Quest too, they are awesomely addictive.. :D

yup, i TOTALLY AGREE with ur take on the RIDGE RACER series, i too think they jus ROCK man.. :D hv played Ridge RAcer 2 (for the PSP) and they are jus satisfying and gr8 tracks too..

I couldn't get my hands on EP 630 but going through this site *www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33952 (Post #4) I think I haven't made the wrong choice.

thanx for the screenies.. :)

yup, EP 630 are also based on the same lines , infact the part where SONY is printed, is it hard ?? coz the EP 630's that similar part is soft silicon rubbery type.. :)

but, yes it looks good, dunno how it sounds, as never used them. :(

That's exactly what i had in mind !!!!

In btw i finished Spiderman 2 ...Started playing yesterday (was having fever so lying in bed had loads of time to spare when i had the energy :D )

Gotta say this thing -
Really had the "Spiderman" Experience !!!!
If you are looking for some serious web swinging combined with some fast gameplay
and some decent fboss ights it's one game to go for !!!

Really had fun cracking it.
Now looking forward to playing Venom !
