Dvd to PSP the easy way, (simple video inside).

Had been trying to work out how to put dvds onto PSP when I came across this simple video that takes you step by step and shows you exatly what software you need, and how to use it, (with the PSP in mind). I tried it with Monsters Inc. and it worked first time. Very easy to follow. Especially good for someone like me with limited pc knowledge/expertise. File came to 450MB. Which was lucky as my Sandisk 512MB card only holds 467MB in reality.

That video is excellent, really simplifies the whole process. I'm going to send a link to my friend with a PSP who has been trying to find out how to do this for awhile now.

But to me, the whole thing still seems far to complex. If I was to buy the Evolution or any other handheld for that matter, and it was capable of these things, I'd want it to be far easier than that process.

Thanks very much, all the same.

It takes 5 mins or less to set up the parameters for ripping the dvd. Setting up the Video 9 settings takes about 1-2 mins. Plus once you've set up the 2 peieces of software there's no need to set it up everytime. Then it's little mope hassle than ripping cds. Just do a whole load in one go.

Ripping the dvd takes 15 mins. The only legnthy process is converting the dvd file into .mp4. This takes 1-3 hrs depending on quality level set, and is best left overnight. However, you can queue priogrammes to have 3/4 done by morning. Copying to PSP mem stick takes 3 mins or so. If I can do it and find it easy, (and I have no patience where pcs are concerned), then anyone can.

Once you have converted your favourite dvds onto your pc, then the hassle is out of the way. When you want to be able to watch a dvd on your PSP, all you have to do is take 5 mins or less to transfer. Easily quick enough to do on a daily basis without it becoming a chore.

How good quality is it? I just got my PSP today and been experimenting with videos. Unfortuantely, i still only have the lame 32MB Memory Stick. Where did you buy your 512MB one?

Hey Ikaruga wheres my damn recognition!

Sorry Redking. Forgot to say it was you who pointed me in the ditrection of the dvd decyrpter. Even put up a link to the correct bit of the site. So I wouldn't have found the video above if I hadn't known about the site. Cheers Red.

Good. Excellent on higher quality modes. I reckon for films up to 2hrs roughly, a Sony 512MB card would be sufficient. Play.com are seling them from today for

Anywhoo, I think ill be needing yours/someone elses help soon im using Bit Torrent and its slow as hell, I think I need to open some ports, but i dont know how (note im not using a software or hardware firewall I think its a built in thing with XP)

Thanks for the info Ikaruge , and i guess Red too.
