Default PSP = Big Problems

Sony is supposed to release a downloadable version of its video transcoding software, Image Converter 2, to handle this, but as of yet, we haven't been able to find it.

The PSP reads video files using a directory structure that isn't put on the stick when you initially format it for PSP use. So you'll need to create a root directory called "mp_root" first, then place another directory named "100mnv01" under it. You put your MP4s inside that directory, but they must be named a certain way for the PSP to recognize them. The naming convention is m4vXXXXX.mp4, where "XXXXX" is a series of numbers, such as, say, 00001.

Based on our estimates and a few battery-draining tests, Ridge Racers seems to last somewhere between 90 minutes and three hours.

We've heard reports from the development side of things that the control disc on the PSP isn't a "true" analog device. After playing a few games that use it, it's difficult to tell the difference. The disc definitely allows for more than eight directions of motion, and works fine for, say, making slight turns in Ridge Racers. That said, the disc seems to have a fairly large dead zone, and it's difficult to get very slight movements out of it.

Oh man, that's going to kill sales. Most normal people won't be able to follow that complex naming structure for music files and the flucuating battery life is definitley to steer unsure customers towards a DS unit instead. And to top it off, Gamespot says PSP's screen picks up fingerprints quite easily! No need for me to say more, Crash's new signature picture says it all.

Yes, this will surely put Sony out of the console business. What? Out of all business!
My guess is that Nintendo will take over the video/audio market.

Jeez, if its that hard to convert, hopefully Sony gets out software soon so its not a hassle. Battery life, its always been a creeping issue that can be solved some time if its an issue.

I know I'll get a PSP later on... after some good games come out... Not going to pay $200 for it at launch though... when it'll have one ridge racer and take longer than windows to boot up...

PSP has the best graphics that's clear...but i'm not a graphics hound so I can wait until: twisted metal, or something good.

wont be up to sony, i dont think sony ever planned mainly on that part. thats why they were talking about trying to sell movies on UMD's.
people who are having the problem are the ones trying to do other things with the psp. the memory card puts in, formats in a couple seconds and does what its supposed to.

People tho are trying to format movies in a format that it will read. Just as they did with CD players long ago, they were meant for people to buy music cd's. but others wanted to convert songs into a format that the players would read.
software will come out that does it. prolly already exists. but its not an issue for people who bought it has a protable gaming system.
