Are UMD films better quality than our conversions?

I think that's something only you can really answer as it is totally subjective. I would say yes, it seems better to me, but others I know however see no difference.

I've got a bit of a weakness for them,
but most aren't directed at my age group.

Are UMD films better quality than our conversions?

Probably not, but most of us wouldn't spare the memory stick space for
a movie encoded at a bitrate to consume 1.8Gb.

Umd's are generally in higher quality because most conversions are lowered in quality to allow them to be a reasonable size.

UMD movies are sooooooooo detailed and crystal clear. they're absolutely beautiful.

That being said, I would only buy those if they were 16 dollars. That seems like the magic price point for UMD movies.

And UMD video simply owns videos you've converted and put on a memory card like blu ray owns... VCD... (which sony would evcentually let us put 480p videos on mem cards, that would make mem card video the same quality as UMD)

I buy them when they are about >$4, which has happened at game stop in the past. otherwise, i use DVDs. The UMD definitely looks great on PSPs compared to MP4s, if you overlook the battery drain.

I still can't believe Sony hasn't given up on these though
