近日開始睇
"24" Series 1 (無錯係Series 1...), 一諗起要追24集劇 (話明係"24", 當然係24集啦... ), 就使我有莫明的衝動將DVD轉成PSP上可看的movie format. 幾經研究, 最終得出以下的步驟, 等各位看官有空時候也可以試下"DIY"
由於小弟打中文實在太慢, 以下部份將用English編寫, 敬請留意 Software: HandBrake (version 0.7.1) and ffmpegX (version 0.0.9w).
Hardware: Powerbook G4 (still haven't upgrade to MacBook Pro yet) and, of course, a PSP
The PSP screen has a resolution of 480x272, but for movies the total number of pixels (width × height) can't exceed 76,800 pixels. Some 16:9 sizes that reportedly work: 368x208, 416x176, 320x176, 384x160, 480x160, or 400x192
The PSP uses MP4 as its format with some proprietary changes. First, the name of the file is critical. Second, the name of the movie is embedded within the file. (There are no doubt other changes, but these are the two that I've found I need to be aware of.) Fortunately ffmpegX knows how to take care of these. Also, where the movie file is placed on the PSP is important. (Path: /MP_ROOT/100MNV01/)
Ok, let's start!
Handbrake stage:- Mount the disc.
- Quit the DVD Player & run HandBrake.
- HandBrake detects the disc (/dev/rdisk2) and finds the tracks.
- Settings...
File Format: MP4 File
Codecs: MPEG-4 Video / AAC Audio
Target Size: 200MB
Encoder: FFmpeg
Picture settings...
Keep aspect ratio: checked
width: 368
height: 208
Crop: automatic
- Get a cup of coffee. Ripping 1 hour long movie took roughly 45 min. on my Powerbook G4.
- Quit HandBrake and run ffmpegX.
ffmpegX Stage:
- Drag the .mp4 file that HandBrake created onto the Source Format "from" pane (or use the "Open..." button for a file dialog.)
- Use the Target format pop-up to select "PSP" to load most of the settings.
- Click the Video tab to change the Video Size. I used 368 x 208 (same as I ripped it to above).
- Click the Options tab to give a name to the Movie for the PSP to display.
- Click the Encode button.
- Get another cup of coffee! (or this time a cup noodle!) This step took about 50 minutes. Final file size: 200 MB
PSP Stage:
- Connect the PSP to the Mac with a USB cable and tell the PSP to go into USB mode.
- ffmpegX named the encoded movie M4V0xxxx.MP4 to conform to PSP standards. DO NOT rename the file ffmpegX generates, or it will not work. Copy the file to /MP_ROOT/100MNV01/ on the PSP (takes about a minute).
- Unmount the PSP from the Mac then exit USB mode. You should now see the movie listed under the Video menu on the PSP and be able to watch it.
