PP2 to play vids on PSP
I want to take existing vids (4:3 .mov) and play them on my PSP.
Am I out of luck here? I see mpeg1 and mpeg 2 in my PP2.
I believe all my vids that I have now for my PSP are .mp4. I have used other third party apps to convert.vob to .mp4 fairly well for my purposes, but no joy for .mov to .mp4.
I know in Vegas there are templates that allow you to save PSP ready.
Is anyone else doing this?
Also I want to chop off the top and bottom to stretch and force them to 16:9 or 320×240 to fit the PSP screen. Is there a quick way to do this resizing like I can in Photoshop with Batch processing?
Ideally, I would like to save a project twice, once for normal full size viewing, and a second time for PSP viewing.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Depending on the codecs used in the MOV, I’d try AVS Video Converter to decompress the files as AVI Uncompressed/PCM Audio.
Premiere likes uncompressed media.As you’ve said, you’ll do two projects…
…One set to the format of your 16:9 version. You should be able to export to your target format.
…And another set to the format of your 320×240 PSP version. Export with Adobe Media encoder as a QuickTime file using the 756kbps H.264 Baseline profile.
Make sure to use Effect/Distort/Transform to do your resizing, not Motion Control (I’m assuming your source material is not interlaced).
As far as batching in Premiere, I’m not aware of any solutions for that.

Hey Vincent:
Thanks for a quick response.
not looking at the cropping yet…
For saving the vids…I dont see the options you mention in Premiere Pro 2. I tried to save in different Quicktime formats with different selections including 264 with 512 streaming.
The PSP does not even recognise the files when saving as .mov. When I change the extension to .mp4 (in explorer) it will see the files, but are corrupted.
I even tried to save the files at a smaller size like 160×120 just to make sure it would fit inside the 320×240 screen, still no joy.
I also tried saving as MPEG1 and MPEG2.
Can this be a mpeg-4 issue since I dont see that as an option? I know all my other vids are mpeg-4.
Or maybe a frame rate issue?
Am I too quick to think Premiere Pro 2 doesnt support the format needed for recognition by PSP?

I also have After Effects 7 and see a few mpeg4 options. I tried a few of them and got an error right at the end: After Effects error: Quicktime Export failed — Quicktime error (-2002).
At a quick glance, nothing in the Event Viewer logs and I cant seem to locate the After Effects logs. I’ll look a little deeper.

For the PSP file, maybe try exporting an uncompressed movie out of Premiere. Than, open the file with QuickTime Pro to export the MP4.
I’m pretty sure it has to be a h.264, 756kbps, 320×240, Baseline profile.
You’d also need to have your PSP firmware at 2.71 or later…Vince
