- supports .avi, .mov, .vob, .mpg, .wmv (auto rescale may not work with some videos, other than .avi)
- auto determines source resolution and calculates rescaled resolution (auto saves aspect ratio), but also has an option to use wide-screen resolution or use auto-crop before rescaling to wide-screen (also saves aspect ratio)
- video section has all commonly used mencoder options
- supports 2 codecs - "DivX" and "XviD"
- supports 2 encoding modes: constant bitrate and variable bitrate ("quantizer")

How much will the file size decrease when going from avi to pmp with this tool?

Trying to fit some vids without much room left!!

i usually gety about 60mb for 1 episode of naruto at 250kbits/sec for video and 112 for audio. Tahts pretty good considering the quality is the same as 768 for regular mp4.

@LAMPRO

I tried it with a 30min divx @ 640x342. Video @ 1479 Kbps. The file was 350MB.

Using the default settings in this prog it ended up at 184MB.

Very quick conversion.

wow thats small.. settings details please.

This sounds like an awesome converter. I have not yet tried to play PMP video on my PSP. Can anyone recommend the BEST PMP video player for the PSP?

[jaydoo]

I didnt change any settings in AVItoPMP, just ran it.

The current version of PMP Mod is 2.02, I would recommend using that for PMP playback.

Well, thanks for the info jaydoo. I will check it out. Great work on this converter uNn99!

::EDIT::
Need help guys. Is there a way with this converter to crop the Video File in any way? Like for instance, remove 2-4 pixels on the sides or top.

Veteran Video Encoders may know that some video files when converted to the PSP have some space wasted because the source video file has black space on the sides or top/bottom. PSP Video 9 was helpful because you could crop top, bottom, left, & right, by the pixel. I want EVERY pixel on my PSP's screen to display video. I don't want the left side showing 4 pixels of BLACK wasted space that could be cropped off.

If this converter could do that, it would be MEGA HELPFUL.

Thanks for your help guys.

:cool: It always tell me "Something went wrong during encoding" but before that happens it always says "mencoder.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

EDIT:Nevermind,Megas XLR and MST3K here I come!:p
