Tutorial for creating videos for the PSVita

[thebudds]

no, that command is for ps3 only, you might change it for the vita if you want hd res

Yeah, it's just a 3.1 works both ways so I choose to use that to keep compatability high with videos people make. AVC level 4.1 will always give the "video is not compatible" error on the Vita.

yes, I know. for the vita I use: ffmpeg input_video -acodec libfaac -f psp -r 29.97 -s 640x480 -b 768k -ar 44100 -ab 128k output_video.mp4
you can upscale the resolution if you want, but I like to keep it that way cause of the speed.
I also created a GUI that simplifies things a lot: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspffvid/files/

There is this very, very nice program called "Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate".

It is as easy as select the video you want to convert. Click PS Vita. Select what quality you want (if you have 720p episodes, convert them all on the lowest settings, on the Vita it looks like your watching it all in HD still, and the output file is 650-800 meg)

If my only camera wasnt the vita itself, i'd be happy to take pics of the quality for yas.

Just a more "user friendly" alternative (i like to wake up, set it encoding while i get ready for work, come in and eat breakky infront of the pc and transfer it over, then out the door to work!) for those who dont have the time/pc skills to encode it the way the OP has posted.



It also has profiles for many other devices, ie ps3, psp, android, iphone, etc etc.

^^ Yeah, that's the exact program I use. I've been converting a bunch of DVD rips of gundam anime, and I like the drop-down selection for subtitles/audio language. Very easy to use

Good tutorial, but it's kinda hard work, isn't it? Hope that Sony will fix this in an update or something

Not at all...one of the points of this tutorial was to knock out the frustrations I went through trying to figure it out myself. All long as it's followed, all that is needed is to set it and forget it. Also that was one of the reasons of adding in the checklist of what's needed if anyone wants to use any other encoder than the one I'm using.

In the beginning it was pretty frustrating, now it's of a second nature to me. I just wanted to share some of the stuff I learned so people wouldn't have to go through it themselves. I like Xvi4psp just simply for the control I have over the videos I encode, any encoder can be used

I mean compare it to the PSP, this is much more, harder work to get a video running on a Vita.
