Hey again, this is a real quick guide for anyone interested to get a movie onto there PSP without all the fluff i have seen elsewhere. I have seen "Africa the Serengeti" on my PSP and heres is the lowdown.
Movie - approx 40 minutes - dvd
Saved to hard drive - 2.6GIG - using DVD Decryptor
Transfered to avi format - 377MB- using Super DVD Ripper (9 FREE trial uses) then you must buy
Transfered to MP4 - 37MB - using the (basically free) Image convertor 2
Average movie breakdown - using above as a guide only.
so im guessing the average movie may be 4.5GB for example
saved to 800MB
CONVERTED TO 70-80MB
Ok use DVD decryptor to save the movie to your hard drive eg. C:\africa (it will save it for you as described)
When completed find the folder c:\africa on your computer and find the vob file in that folder - generally the largest one and right click and play it with your dvd program to see which part it is. If is the right movie part you now know thats the one you need.
Once you have located the vob file you want to transfer open DVD Ripper and go to wizard icon. There you will see an icon that shows button of VOB to AVI. Click on it then it will ask you to locate the file. Locate the file in the system and click on it. It will SCAN THE FILE(just wait till that finishes) a parameter box opens next and just click the arrow. Then it will ask you to choose output file, click on the file icon and then locate the correct/right fob file. It then askes for file compression - choose microsoft windows media and then click ok Then press the start button. Then it will now convert the vob file into avi format.
(there may be some other options also like dvd to avi etc) I have only used the vob to avi for this test.
After DVD ripper has transferred the file it will save it to the same folder as the original move was in eg: c:\africa\viteots. Open the output file and now you will see an AVI icon containing the movie.
Make sure you PSP is on and in usb mode then Open Image convertor 2 and press on movie / add to list. For this example i have clicked on C:drive and then found the folder Africa and opened it and there was my converted AVI file. Select the file and click on ok and then it will be transfered to your PSP for viewing pleasure.
*****Note****
I only converted one VOB file as thatS all there was for this particular movie. If you have many vob file you may need to try the dvd to avi when you rip. This is just a simple guide on which i worked out to compress dvd into the smallest possible file so you can get value out of a 512 card.
