The PSP Video preset creates H.264 Baseline Profile at 480x272 (the PSP's native screen resolution) with AAC audio at 96 kbps. DivX movies were hugely popular for PSP homebrew media playback in the 2000s, but the PSP's official video player does not support DivX AVI files. This conversion produces properly formatted MP4 files that play through the PSP's XMB media player without homebrew firmware or third-party apps.

The PSP's hardware video decoder supports H.264 and MPEG-4 SP in MP4 containers — not DivX/XviD in AVI. While custom firmware enabled DivX playback on modified PSPs, official firmware requires H.264 MP4. The PSP preset encodes at the exact screen resolution (480x272) for pixel-perfect display with minimal decoder workload and battery drain.

The MPEG-4 Part 2 video from DivX is decoded and re-encoded to H.264 Baseline Profile Level 2.1 at 480x272 with a maximum bitrate of 768 kbps. Audio is transcoded to AAC-LC at 96 kbps stereo with 48 kHz sample rate. The MP4 container is formatted with specific atom ordering for PSP firmware compatibility. Files should be named M4Vxxxxx.MP4 and placed in MP_ROOT/100MNV01 for thumbnail support.

Some custom firmware enables DivX AVI playback, but official firmware does not. The H.264 MP4 preset works on all PSP firmware versions 3.30 and above.

The PSP has a 16:9 widescreen display (480x272). Standard DivX at 4:3 aspect ratio will have narrow pillarbox bars. Widescreen DivX fills the screen perfectly.

At PSP preset settings, a 90-minute movie is approximately 500-600 MB. A 4 GB memory stick holds about 6-7 full-length movies.

For thumbnail support in the XMB, place files as M4Vxxxxx.MP4 in MP_ROOT/100MNV01. For basic playback, any MP4 in the VIDEO folder works.

Yes. PS Vita's video player supports all H.264 MP4 files that work on PSP, plus higher resolutions and additional codecs.
