PSP 720x480 AVC

Hi i tried to encode compatible mp4 AVC file in 720x480 for the new firmwares >=3.30.

the 480x272 resolution works since 3.03 with this devices.ini entry:

Code:

[PlayStation Portable (AVC/H264, Firmware Version >= 3.03)]
ResUnit=16
ScreenRatio=16:9
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=480x272
ResAna1=480x272
VCodec=h264
ACodec=aac
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Volume=800
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=psp
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=h264:coder=1:acodec=aac
FileType=mp4
PALFrameRate1=29.97
DirPath=MP_ROOT/100ANV01/MAQ1
Quality=15
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
MaxVBitrate=1500
ThumbNail=THM
AllowChapterFiles=0

but this entry won't work:

Code:

[PlayStation Portable (AVC/H264, Firmware Version >= 3.30)]
ResUnit=16
ScreenRatio=16:9
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=720x480
ResAna1=720x480
VCodec=h264
ACodec=aac
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Volume=800
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=psp
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=h264:coder=1:acodec=aac
FileType=mp4

DirPath=MP_ROOT/100ANV01/MAQ1
Quality=15
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
MaxVBitrate=1500
ThumbNail=THM
AllowChapterFiles=0

Now here
is described that it has to work with H.264 level set to 3.0 instead of 2.1!

My Question is, how can I set the h264 level to 3 in the ini?

thanks.

 

Actually, the 480x272 doesn't work unless you have one of the hacked firmwares for the PSP, which I don't. 480x272 MUST be AVC level 2.1, while 720x480 MUST be 3.0

This is absolutely an AVC level issue, which CloneDVD mobile does not let you set manually. I know mencoder allows this as part of the command line, but we cannot set that ourselves.

One of two things need to be done (or both):
-Let the user set their own commandline commands in the ini file (or in the gui itself)
-Change the ini file to reflect this AVC level change and alter the program accordingly.

I have been using megui to do this, but I always prefer to use clonedvd mobile because of the awesome interface. This appears to be a quick fix which would be a welcome addition for us loyal PSP CloneDVD mobile users.

 

where do you guys see this cause I don't. i have v. 1.1.4.0 and the only res i see is like 368x208, but it would nice to have an update that takes advantage of the 3.30 update for psp. and display in it's native res.

 

In the x264encopts switch (which I assume you use), you need to add one that says "level_idc=21"

For example:

-x264encopts bitrate=400:level_idc=21:bframes=0


That needs to be there for both passes, if you do 2 pass encoding.

Keep in mind, I use x264 commandline, not mencoder, so I'm not sure this will work.

But if it does, what kind of compensation do I get???

 

Uhmm cool, you thought of writing 720x480, don't you?? .. i hope so !

 

I have used psp video 9, these are the options for 480x272

This is output from the console in PSP Video 9, there is an actual commandline to ffmpeg that is used to convert in this case a swedish terrestrial DVB-t 16:9 recording.

Hi all,

I just wanted to check this would allow a resolution of 720p in the output, or have I miss understood this post. I get 320x240 when I choose to convert a movie to PSP (FM 3.4).

 

I was wondering if there will be an update soon.
