About XviD to PSP Video Conversion
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.
Why Convert XviD to PSP Video?
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.
Common Use Cases
- Converting XviD scene releases for on-the-go viewing on PSP during commutes
- Building a portable movie library on PSP Memory Stick from CD-rip era video collections
- Making XviD TV show episodes portable on PSP for travel entertainment
- Creating a gaming-and-video handheld setup with converted XviD content alongside PSP games
- Preparing XviD anime releases for the PSP's widescreen display
How It Works
FFmpeg demuxes the XviD AVI container, decodes the MPEG-4 Part 2 video, and re-encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 3.0 at exactly 480x272. Audio is transcoded from MP3 (or AC3) to AAC-LC stereo at 128 kbps. Video bitrate targets 768-1500 kbps. The MP4 container follows Sony's PSP specifications with correct ftyp brand atoms. XviD's typical 23.976 fps is preserved for smooth playback.
Quality & Performance
At 480x272 with 1000-1500 kbps H.264, the PSP preset produces sharp video that fills the 4.3-inch widescreen LCD. XviD scene releases at 624x352 scale down naturally to the PSP resolution with the H.264 codec producing cleaner output than the MPEG-4 Part 2 original at this size. Audio at 128 kbps AAC sounds excellent through the PSP's headphone jack. Files are 300-600 MB for a 90-minute movie.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Encode at exactly 480x272 for pixel-perfect display on the PSP screen — any other resolution wastes bits
- 2Use 1000-1500 kbps for movies and 768 kbps for TV episodes to balance quality and storage
- 3Place converted files in the VIDEO folder on Memory Stick root for automatic detection
- 4Burn hardcoded subtitles during conversion since PSP does not support external subtitle files
- 5Use a Memory Stick PRO Duo to microSD adapter for affordable expanded storage up to 128 GB
XviD to PSP Video conversion creates a portable movie player from Sony's classic handheld, encoding scene release archives at the exact specifications PSP firmware requires for reliable playback.
