About WTV to PSP Video Conversion
WTV (Windows TV) is the Windows Media Center DVR recording format, storing broadcast television with MPEG-2 or H.264 video, AC3 or AAC audio, and EPG metadata. The PSP Video device preset is a pre-configured FFmpeg profile targeting Sony's PlayStation Portable, producing H.264 Main Profile video with AAC-LC audio at 480x272 resolution — the PSP's native screen dimensions. The PSP was Sony's flagship handheld gaming console from 2004-2014, featuring a 4.3-inch widescreen LCD and hardware H.264 decoding.
Despite being discontinued, the PSP retains a dedicated community of users who value its portability, excellent screen quality for its era, and ability to play video content on the go. Converting WTV TV recordings to PSP format creates a portable TV viewing experience on this classic handheld device.
Why Convert WTV to PSP Video?
The PSP has strict format requirements — it only plays H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at 480x272 maximum resolution in a specific MP4 container structure. Generic MP4 conversions frequently fail to play on PSP because the encoding profile, level, or resolution exceeds what the PSP hardware can decode. The PSP preset ensures every parameter matches Sony's specifications.
For PSP owners with WTV recording archives, this conversion creates a pocket-sized TV experience. The PSP's 4.3-inch widescreen display is well-suited for watching broadcast content — TV shows, sports, and movies look excellent at the 480x272 native resolution when the encoding matches the hardware perfectly.
Common Use Cases
- Converting favorite TV shows from WTV archives for on-the-go viewing on PSP
- Building a portable entertainment library on PSP Memory Stick from Windows Media Center recordings
- Creating PSP-formatted sports highlights and game recaps from recorded broadcasts
- Making children's show archives portable on PSP for travel entertainment
- Transferring recorded movies and series from WTV to PSP for commute viewing
How It Works
FFmpeg demuxes the WTV container and encodes for PSP compatibility. The preset uses H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at exactly 480x272 (PSP native resolution) with AAC-LC stereo at 128 kbps. Video bitrate targets 768-1500 kbps. Interlaced WTV sources are deinterlaced with yadif before scaling. The MP4 container structure follows Sony's PSP specifications with the correct brand and version atoms. AC3 5.1 audio is downmixed to stereo.
Quality & Performance
At 480x272 with 768-1500 kbps, the PSP preset produces sharp, detailed video that fully utilizes the PSP's 480x272 LCD panel. Broadcast content looks excellent on the 4.3-inch screen — text is readable, faces are clear, and motion is smooth at 24-30 fps. Audio at 128 kbps AAC sounds clean through the PSP's speakers or headphone output. Files are approximately 400-700 MB per hour.
