I just purchased PSPWare for MAC, got myself a 1 GB memory stick and am ready to start burning my DVDs to a format I can copy onto my PSP so I can catch up on the DVDs I haven't watched yet. I've read several posts about this in the forum and it seems that there are a lot of different programs out there to rip the DVD, then convert it to mp4. I wanted to start a thread explaining what the most recommended solution is for taking any DVD and being able to watch it on a PSP.
I tried converting one movie I had and was unsuccessful. I used Mac the Ripper - took the VOB directory and used handbrake to convert it to 480x272 px (The PSP screen is capable of 480 x 272 pixels - not sure why the PSPWare program only capable of 300 and change (not sure of the exact pixels, but I know it wasn't the same as the resolution of the screen of the PSP). Got my mp4 file, dragged it into PSPWare - got the red slash through the circle. Removed it from PSPWare and used the tear drop function and put the file there. The PSP synced - took forever (expected since the mp4 was 830 Meg). Went into my PSP and couldn't find the movie.
Not sure what I did wrong or what I should do, but I want to convert a lot of my DVDs so I can watch them through my PSP. Not worth buying a PSP DVD for 2xs the price of a regular DVD when I can buy a regular DVD for my home player and just convert it so I can play it on my PSP.
