I dont trust very many of the sites that provide this software... any suggestions?

Video 9, I believe the other one is called 3G. I have had good experiences with Video 9 when converting multimedia over to my PSP.

I just thought of something...Multimedia as in...a converter that does Pictures, Music AND Video....what type of multimedia converter are you talking about? (If there is one that encompasses all of that, then I would like to know to!)

both use ffmpeg as their core. video 9 maybe a bit simplre to use.
you can get 3gpp from 3GPP (http://www.nurs.or.jp/%7Ecalcium/3gpp/)

for 3GPP you can check out Custom Ini for 3GPP (http://www.sgpsp.com/cocco/customini) . It can also help to get a good feel of final size of file for different settings.

I believe mckmas posted a commercial converter/encoder thats supposed to give you really good video quality for your PSP. Its in a thread somewhere on this board.

I use an unregistered version PSPWARE.

OOOO...that sound nifty. Have you used it yet?

I have it running for the first time right now. It`s very easy to use, when you have your PSP connected, it reads the free space on the memory stick and can directly write to the PSP.I have not used any other programs yet , so I cannot compare how it is in terms of features and speed etc.
There is a tutorial on the Ahead website:

I tried Video 9 first. It seems fairly easy to use. It's bitrate calculation is a little off for the films I tried (I could have used a higher bitrate). Quality is very good.

I then tried Nero.
First it tried to clip off the top and bottom, and then when I stopped it doing that it produced a lower resolution clip, so when viewed on the PSP it looks soft due to the upscaling required. On the plus side it seems to be much faster than Video9.

I think until Nero gets it's act together a bit better I will stick with video9.
Looking at the quality I reckon I could stand to lower the quality and get two 90min movies on a 1 GB card. :-)

Yeah, I find feature films at around half a GB are very watchable, using PSP Video 9, so I usually stick a couple on one of my memory cards for a journey.

So I've got games and music on one card, couple of films on the other and since they're off the memory card, you can get both movies watched and game for a while off the UMD before batteries die.
