DVD VOBs store MPEG-2 at standard definition (720x480/576) — a codec Sony's PSP cannot decode. The PSP plays H.264 Baseline Profile at up to 480x272 (its native LCD) with AAC-LC audio. The PSP Video preset converts DVD content for portable viewing on Sony's handheld console.

The PSP cannot play MPEG-2 or read VOB containers. Converting to the PSP preset produces properly formatted H.264 MP4 files sized for the PSP's 480x272 4.3-inch display. DVD content at 480x272 looks good on the PSP's screen since the resolution is close to the original DVD standard.

The PSP remains popular for retro gaming and portable media, with an active community that uses the device for video entertainment.

FFmpeg deinterlaces the VOB's MPEG-2, downscales to 480x272, and transcodes to H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio at 48 kHz, 128 kbps. Video bitrate targets 512-768 kbps. The output follows Sony's MP4 variant with PSP-specific container boxes. Files must follow PSP naming (MAQ00001.MP4) and directory structure (MP_ROOT/100MNV01/).
