The PSP (PlayStation Portable) Video preset creates H.264 MP4 files conforming to Sony's PSP hardware specifications: H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at 480x272 maximum resolution. RMVB was popular in the same era as the PSP (2004-2014), and converting RMVB movie files for PSP viewing was a common task in Asia where both formats thrived. The PSP's strict decoder requirements demand precisely formatted files.

The PSP cannot play RMVB files — it has no RealVideo decoder. The handheld's media player also rejects standard MP4 files that exceed its specific codec profile, resolution, or bitrate limits. The PSP Video preset handles all these constraints, producing files the PSP immediately recognizes.

FFmpeg decodes RealVideo and RealAudio, then encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at 480x272 or 320x240. Video bitrate is capped at 768 kbps (standard) or 1500 kbps (firmware 3.30+). Audio uses AAC-LC at 128 kbps, 48 kHz stereo. The MP4 includes PSP-specific metadata for proper XMB menu listing.

The PSP doesn't support subtitle tracks. Burn subtitles into the video during conversion if you need them visible.

At 480x272 and 768 kbps, a 2-hour movie is approximately 700 MB. A 16 GB memory stick holds roughly 20-22 full-length movies.

Yes — all PSP models (1000, 2000, 3000, Go, Street) support the same video format. The only difference is firmware version requirements.

Only on PSPs with firmware 3.30 or later. If you're unsure, stick with 768 kbps which works on all firmware versions.

RMVB files at 4:3 (640x480) are letterboxed to fit the PSP's 16:9 widescreen display, with black bars on the sides.
