PSP movies and a Mac

[Pavey]

Just got my PSP and am trying to work out how to compress a movie. Seen the thread by Neil,but does it make a difference that im on a Mac?

(basically just need a Mac/PSP owning person to hold my hand and show me the light)

Thanks

I'm using those two programs, and for DVDs with subtitles I'm using OSEx to make them into one big VOB file, and then Altshiiva to encode the subtitles into the movie.

iPSP looks promising but couldnt get it to work.Seemed like it had no interface.
Anyone had any luck with it?

Look on the right side of the menu bar.

Using these to encode/convert R2 DVDs, and the results are very good. However R1 DVDs are another matter. Lost Boys SE R1 worked fine, but Kil Bill Vol 1 and Fast and the Furious R1 both had serious issues.. Green Pixelation covering the screen in Fast, and KB1 just froze up.

I am on a iBook G4 btw.

Any ideas why some R1 DVDs don't work? Oh and do you know how to turn off Apple DVD player fro auto booting? It keeps trying to eject R1 discs because the drive is set to R2. However R1 Lostboys was fine! Weird.

Thanks.

Since we are talking Macs; do the above decoders give full width PSP viewing? and how big are the filesizes?

I know this latter one got answered on the PC PSP encoding thread, but wondered if the files are bigger/smaller for the Mac. The american release date approaches... (!)

dc-arena,its in System Preferences.

Go to -Hardware/CD's & dvd's/when you insert a dvd---set this to ignore.

(hope thats what you meant-tis bloody annoying!)

Cheers Paveynick, nice one!

Zed, I ripped the first chapter of Finding Nemo, which was in .VOD format, and that went to 180mb. I then ripped it and it dropped down to 40mb in .MP4 format. That was with default settings in the above Macintosh app.
