• Supports 2 encoding modes: constant bitrate and variable bitrate ("quantizer").

User guide

Click on "Open File" and select the video or movie you want to convert to PMP. You also need to choose where you want the converted video to be saved.

Once you’ve selected the movie, you can choose various options, including aspect ratio (video resolution), quality, bitrate, and sound quality. Recommended settings: "x264 (AVC)", 768 bitrate.

You can also add subtitles if you have them.

Next, click on "Add to Queue" (you can create multiple videos at once). Click "Run Encoding," a window will appear showing the entire creation and conversion process.

When the process is complete, it will prompt you to press a key. Now it’s time to watch the movie on your PSP and enjoy UMD quality.

Install PMP Mod AVC. Create a folder within ms0:/PSP/ called "VIDEO," and place your movies and videos in /PSP/VIDEO/.

Changelog

v1.2.0

• x264 AVC fast mode: can increase speed up to 2x at the cost of quality.
• Autocrop black bars now analyze not the beginning, but the middle of the video (to avoid analyzing the title).
• Crop menu has a progress bar indicating the process of analyzing black bars.
• An ability to change number of frames that should be analyzed for black bars.
• New XviD mode: "cartoon" (activate this if your encoded sequence is an anime/cartoon. It modifies some XviD internal thresholds.

so XviD takes better decisions on frame types and motion vectors for flat looking cartoons).

• In x264 AVC mode "subq" (subpel refinement quality) is editable on the main form.
• Preview time bug is fixed.
• Some crop bugs are fixed.

v1.1.0
