Dark Alex Working on v3.03OE-B
Dark Alex is now working on v3.03OE-B of his custom firmware, heres the info about it:
Anyway I told him to remain vague on the release date and more than everything on the upcomming features.
Btw about those people who use to play videos on their psps will be happily surprised, but I wont say more
P.S. No, nothing regarding pops improvements on this release, sorry for the ones expecting those.
480x272 AVC straight from XMB baby!
Yup, the new feature regarding VIDEO is the ability to play 480x272 full resolution AVC MP4 videos. This is a great feature. Something I have been wanting since I bought my PSP on launch day almost 2 years ago.
Dark_AleX gives us what SONY refuses to due to greed. SONY wanted us to spend a fortune on UMD Videos instead of letting us use the PSP the way it should be used regarding MP4 playback.
I am really psyched about this feature. I know some people may not care that much but it is a really great addition.
Now does anyone recommend a program for converting AVC videos at 480x272?
Could you just manually edit the resolution in PSPVideo9? Or are there better apps for doing that job?
Why is Xvid/DivX preferred by so many?

That probably sums it up perfectly. That seems to be a main focus of Dark_AleX. I prefer it that way because once you start adding major stuff or dramatically modifying the firmware, things could get broken.
I would be more than happy with 480x272 AVC video playback. Why is XviD/DivX superior? Most people seem to prefer it but I don't know why. But I'm also not an expert on the subject either.
