 I have a PSP 1000 (the very first model) that I use to playback video on, just for fun. ''ffmpeg'' used to have a preset output for it, but no more. Encoding for the hardware is simple enough, with the right settings. I have a PSP 1000 (the very first model) that I use to playback video on, just for fun.

 The video player does have support for chapters, but adding them to the MP4 doesn't have any effect. [Note: when using HandBrake. Probably need to use the proper supported subtitle formats for MP4] The video player does have support for chapters, but adding them to the MP4 doesn't have any effect. [Note: when using HandBrake.

On the other hand, if it's **fullframe**, then do a height of 270 so it's not stretching the video, and you have black bars on the left and right.

 The baseline profile has less features than the main. The x264 encoding settings using the Main profile will set the amount of B-Frames to 3. However, the PSP won't work with any encoding higher than 1. So any changes to the default encoding here reflect that one difference. (also note that the linked article above disables more features than this -- I started with his configuration -- which worked great -- and then tweaked until I found mine) The baseline profile has less features than the main.

-I haven't tested encoding anything in a higher preset than medium, and don't really want to chase that down since it's such a small display size anyway. If you're looking for better quality, improve the CRF instead. :) +==== ffmpeg ====

 The video player itself for the PSP will list a video as "Unsupported Data" if it can't be played back. However, don't depend on this icon completely as proof of failure. Some files it will show the video icon, but then have "This video cannot be played." when trying to watch it. An example being where something's encoded with the Main x264 profile alone. The video player itself for the PSP will list a video as "Unsupported Data" if it can't be played back.
