PSP: Custom .INI for 3GP Converter v0.34

[BelmontSlayer]

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/BelmontSlayer/3GPConverter.jpg

I went ahead and created a new settings file for 3GP Converter to allow 480x272 AVC conversions. This allows those who aren't tech-inclined to convert their videos for use with Dark_AleX's 3.03 OE-B firmware. Simply unzip the folder, run the program, choose your quality and convert. Enjoy!

Now that's useful to know. I'll get this right now.

[DarthPaul]

yeah! dude thanks,you're the man!

[shedeus]

how fast/slow is this compressor?

are the file sizes big/small?

[pt9087]

Wow thanks... All hail 3GP!

[BelmontSlayer]

how fast/slow is this compressor?

3GP Converter is one of the fastest converters for MP4. The file size depends on the bit rate you chose when converting a file. Plus its one of the few free converters available, so who's complaining? :thumbup:

[shedeus]

nice! gonna try this when i get home

[kyler24x]

thnx man this really helps

[BelmontSlayer]

I added a screenshot to make it stand out more.

[Emeriastone]

I had already posted this--as long as someone uses it I don't care

[acn010]

i always trust this program over years.... this is great

[XxunknowxX]

great realese this is VERY useful but i read this was supposed to be fast it is but i runs like MMM (MaxMediaManager) it would been nice that it went faster but hey whos complaining thnks dude

[Accordion]

anyone got a
bitrate/size/quality comparision they could share, it would be good to know the best to use

[carlitx]

nice app man ill give er a whirl and than ill c if ill use this over winavi MP4 converter

[joshisposer]

thank you for posting this. i thought i understood the readme and i couldn't find where this type of compression goes. i didnt know u needed a new ini.

[luis_05]

dude!! this is jsut amazing, thanks for taking the time in doing this app plugin

im trying to transcode a 4 minute music video and its going extremely slow and its saying its going to take 7 hours and its been going for 10 minutes so far. IS this normal?

PS im using the 3GP converter that was posted and i followed the directions.

Even if that was normal, would it even be worth it?

[gamer121]

^^not at all

i guess ill have to wait for a pspvideo9 update

[comicgeek]

Great Job !

[notaforumtroll]

good job thanks
this takes a little pain out of the whole having to convert process >_*

thanks now i have to reconvert a lot of stuff

[PsychoSync]

i know this looks like a noob question but can someone tell me exactly where to put the mp4 files on the psp? MP_ROOT/101ANV something, i don't remember...

[Mister Klownes]

Noob question: what's the benefit of this new video format? I mean, is it better compression/quality?

[shedeus]

oh... only full resolution video playback unlocked

[bandit]

i know this looks like a noob question but can someone tell me exactly where to put the mp4 files on the psp? MP_ROOT/101ANV something, i don't remember...
MP_ROOT/101ANV01


Noob question: what's the benefit of this new video format? I mean, is it better compression/quality?
Better quality and full resolution (480x272)

[mcleod]

Omg ... I'm sorry to say but ive been using this for over a year .. :( sorry i should have posted this ... I thought ppl knew of this already ; ;

[mcleod]

its a great program , its fast and ez to use ... if all you want is videos and less memmory take this is good .. with the lowes resolution in this program you can have a movie at i think 170 mb and it will drop it to like 70 or 80 mb , but i always use this to download movies and videos .... you can use this with alot of other things ..

[DrNicket]

Omg ... I'm sorry to say but ive been using this for over a year .. :( sorry i should have posted this ... I thought ppl knew of this already ; ;

Wouldn't have mattered until now as Dark_Alex's newest custom firmware has only now made it possible to play the full res (480x272) MP4 videos. You could play the smaller ones full-screen, but not at true 480x272.

Something must be using up all your RAM...I have a P4 1.8GHz w/ 512RAM and I can convert a 8 minute movie in 2-3 minutes. Are you sure you weren't running any memory hogging programs? (Ex: Firefox/Norton/Limewire)

AVC Converted movies go in:
MP_ROOT/100MNV01

MPEG Converted movies go in:
MP_ROOT/100ANV01

So with this plugin, you would put them in the 100MNV01 folder.

MP_ROOT/100MNV01

I thought it was the other way around. Wouldn't you want AVC videos in 100ANV01?

Anyway, does anyone know of a way to convert .VOB DVD rip files to this new PSP format?

Or is there a nice program to convert .VOB to high quality .AVI so that you could then convert the .AVI to 480x272 AVC???

[slayer2psp]

its not full screen its more like 320x240 still can change the size of video on the psp

[BelmontSlayer]

Wouldn't you want AVC videos in 100ANV01
It would make more sense...But has Sony's decisions ever made sense?

I can't think of any free programs that rip DVDs, but as for shareware PQDVD (http://www.pqdvd.com/psp/) is great! It can rip and convert in one step. (It doesn't support 480x272 yet though)

Well I just put an anime episode I converted in the 100ANV01 folder and it worked great. We need to be able to do custom thumnails though. But I'm pretty sure you could make thumbnails in PSPVideo9 and use the custom .THM in place of the one created by 3GP.

I guess we will just need to wait for existing converters to implement this new resolution.

[porchemasi]

i get an error on the psp saying "Unsupported file type" on 3.03 OE-B ... wt on 3gp?

[BelmontSlayer]

.THM is the same thing as .JPG. So make an 140x80 image and save it as a jpeg. Then rename the extension to .THM.

[~maniac~]

i get an error on the psp saying "Unsupported file type" on 3.03 OE-B ... wt on 3gp?

I got that too but i found a solution:

place the MAQxxxxx.MP4 and MAQxxxxx.THM files in the 100ANV01 and ur good to go!

[neo_mx]

is 3Gp can convert art birate up to 900 kbps ?

[bah]

Edit: Ignore the rest of the post, cheers for the correction partyman.

All video in 2.81+ can be placed in <psp's drive letter>:\VIDEO

I thought the custom firmware was the same, no need to mess with ..\MP_ROOT\100ANV01\ and annoying naming restrictions.

Could be wrong, haven't watched a video on my psp in quite a while.

I tried putting my converted vids direct into the VIDEO directory but i got "unsupported data", they work though when i put them into the 100ANV01 directory.

[BlackJack23]

Isn't Xvid4PSP alot better than this?

It seems to work way faster and has a nicer interface.

[PlantationBoss]

Just a thought, for 4x3 (1:33) videos, the optimum resolution would be 360x272, but when I tried to create such a video in 3GP Converter, by making a custom ini file, the PSP would not recognise the finished video.

Is this still an inherent limitation of user created AVC videos, or am I doing something wrong?

make sure you have firmware v3.03OE-B and the vid is directory \MP_ROOT\100ANV01\

Or is there a nice program to convert .VOB to high quality .AVI so that you could then convert the .AVI to 480x272 AVC???

I just use DVDshrink, make sure it does not split into 1gb chunks, you should then have a 4.7gb file, just drop the 4.7gb .VOB into the window & it converts straight away.
Just done Minority Report & it has worked fine.

[Method Man]

480x272 support is cool, but on xilisofts psp convertor you'll have 1500kbit/s on excelent quallity

[Veskgar]

xilisoft allows for 480x272 resolution for AVC already? How fast is the transcoding with that program? Good speed? Or slow?

[BelmontSlayer]

Xilisoft's max resolution is 368x208 at the moment...It converts about the same speed as 3GP. Also, you were right about AVC going in the 100ANV01 folder. Sorry for all the confusion. :o

[rock_light]

How many of you have actually made an AVC video file for psp?

I've tried EVERY encoder there is and nothing works at all. Using these settings for 3GP adds in a couple extra encoding settings for the 480x272 res but I cant get anything other than BASIC psp video that will show up as anything other than unsupported data.

Ive tried placing them in

/video
/video/100ANV01
/video/100MNV01

They wont even show up in:

mp_root
mp_root/100ANV01
mp_root/100MNV01

Now here's the funniest part. MOST of you are LYING. Not so much in this forums as others.
But PPL ARE TELLING ME TO PUT MOVIES IN THE MP_ROOT...
If you did you havent tested a damn thing. Your data is outdated. And you should give your psp away to someone who may help others by simply not lying by saying you got it to work in there.

You are outdated and this is for 3.02oe-b and firmwares UP not DOWN. Took me forever to find someone who told me 3.03oe has a new MS_Root layout and i should format.

Maybe yours does support AVC encoded video. but I think your lyyyying.

____________UPDATE

OOoh... OKAY! I got it now...

Not
/VIDEO/100ANV01/

It's this one for these encodings! WOOOOT!

/MP_ROOT/100ANV01

[yahya69]

it worked great :D ...
what i did to make it working : downloaded the 3gp converter then open the Setup.exe and duble click on mp4 for psp 3.03 oe-b choose yes,, then it will open the convertor program

- choose the distnation first
then choose the resulotion that you want

- drag the file and it will convert it to the distnation that you choosed it ,, just then copy the files you have to

MS_ROOT/MP_ROOT/100ANV01

then chick it hope that you all understand for my simple explaination ..

thank all and Special thanks to Dark Alex and who helped him ;)

[jguba7892]

can u convert a normal movie straight to avc or do u have to convert it to mp4 first

[no_pulse]

can u convert a normal movie straight to avc or do u have to convert it to mp4 first

You can convert straight to it. :)

[Greg_Alexander]

does this work with 3.02 OE-B, or is it 3.03 OE only?

[rock_light]

its 3.03 'oe-b' only that allows the 480x272(avc) .mp4 format

[kvnchg]

Okay, I am not sure this thing works. I got it to convert and even play on the PSP. But when it plays in normal mode there are always black borders on the two side of the video. I can just change the mode to full screen or zoom to get ride of the black borders but that defeats the point of this full resolution thing. I think this converter keeps your video's ratio, like it doesn't stretch the video to 480x272. Can you make another profile that stretches your video when it encode?

Pretty much my videos looks like this in normal mode:

is there a way to reduce the audio bitrate less than 64 in 3gp converter?

aac has good quality in low bitrates.

[student1]

Well first time doing some movies for psp :) Finally got it going but for those having problems just format your memory stick and put your files in mp_root/101anv01 a directory will be made after the format. Gives format unrecognized even if you create the dir yourself, didnt work until i formated it.

Fow those looking into ripping dvds, i use xvid4 psp, it includes dvd shrink...or just get dvd shrink ;p. Read your vob files on the hd and then use the fallowing dos command to make one big vob file

copy /b xx1.vob+xx2.vob+xx3.vob+xx4.vob bigvob.vob
(where big vob is the final file you will be compresssin with agp converter.)

Takes a long time to rip and convert and merge, but hey atleast your hard work payes off when your off somewhere far and bored as hell ;p

One small grip i have, not sure if any one had any problems, but the sound seems extremely low, maybe its the bit rate i used, but it shouldn t be that low even when its crancked off to the maximum.

well enjoy your ripping.


Oh btw i made a collection of at3 files for psp, anyone knows where i could upload it, been sending some pm s but no replies.

Later

[mattcl]

Thanks !

[goldwing]

i cant get it to work, i just get an error -1073741511, anyone knows how to solve it?

[MasterofMe]

Is there settings for this set up to reduce ghosting in videos? I fnot chould someone tell me the best settings to use to reduce ghosting.

[simate]

I'd love this but it just keeps asking me to log in :S

EDIT: Got it. it was Opera's fault, used IE instead. Many thanks OP.

[hirolau]

I use PMPMODAVC and convert with a program called AVItoPMP. Is this better quality or is it the same but you are now able to play it in xmb?
