PSP video workflow

RZ wrote on 9/21/2006, 9:02 AM

I have a few 30 second avi's. I used the V7 to generate PSP compatible mpeg4's and placed them on the memory card in the PSP. I can't watch the video on the PSP. Could someone please tell me what I am missing and recommend an optimal workflow. Thanks

DId you use the Tools/Export to PSP utility in V7, or something else? I've used the Tools/Export and it works fine.

Can you see the video files on the PSP? You should ba able to navigate to the clips and see thumbnails for each clip.

I don't have my PSP with me, so I can't give exact procedures (daughter borrowed it).

I rendered the flies from File> Render As> Template to generate the files. Stored them in my documents and then dragged them to my PSP. The files are there but no thumbnails and they do not play.

Use the PSP export utility under the tools dropdown. The files have a very specific naming convention that must be adhered too in order to be displayed/played properly. Alternatively, use the PSP Media Manager (a seperate purchase).

If you have the new version of PSP firmware (2.81), you can forget about the strange naming convention of the files and place them directly in a folder called VIDEO located in the root level of the directory structure of the memory stick. You can get that here Official Sony PSP Site

And if you have the old 1.x version of the PSP Firmware this is why your videos won’t play. This feature requires at least PSP Firmward 2.0. Upgrade your PSP to the latest firmware and I bet everything starts to work just fine.
