Convert XviD to PSP Video — Free Online Converter

XviD is the open-source MPEG-4 Part 2 codec that dominated the scene release era, with files in AVI containers at the iconic 700 MB CD-R size. The PSP Video device preset targets Sony's PlayStation Portable, producing H.264 Main Profile video with AAC-LC audio at the PSP's native 480x272 resolution. The PSP was a popular portable video player during the same era XviD was dominant, and many PSP users converted XviD scene releases for handheld viewing.

The PSP cannot play MPEG-4 Part 2 ASP video inside AVI containers. While some custom firmware solutions added limited XviD support, the official firmware requires H.264 Main Profile in MP4 at specific parameters that the PSP preset provides.

The PSP requires H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at exactly 480x272 in a specific MP4 container structure. Generic MP4 files frequently fail on PSP due to incorrect profile levels, resolutions, or container atoms. The PSP preset ensures every encoding parameter matches Sony's firmware specifications exactly, guaranteeing playback.

XviD's typical 624x352 resolution scales naturally to the PSP's 480x272 screen — a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio matches both. The codec upgrade from XviD to H.264 also improves quality at the reduced resolution, producing sharper output than the MPEG-4 Part 2 source at the PSP's target bitrates.
