Best to find a section of movie that looks particularly poor on the PSP screen and try to fix it. It drives you mad comparing the small differences over and over again. That is for a PSP Lite, the second model. "GhostsBusters MPEG2Fix" improved Ghosting for some films but the difference is not great.Ultra was definately better than Turbo, Extreme was slow and I preferred the results with Ultra.x264 HQ Ultra with quality set to 14 - Nearly as good as 1.x264 HQ2 Ultra with quality set to 21 (default) - Slow and results not worth it.XviD4PSP supports Windows, Mac and Linux. Overall, XviD4PSP offers a range of features and customization options that make it a versatile and useful video converter for a wide range of users. x264 HQ Ultra - Default quality is 21, nice and small, OK on PSP screen but not monitor (x264 2P 512k Ultra is better and small, but slower.) Advanced users can use the command-line interface to automate tasks or customize settings.x264 2P 1024k Ultra - Possibly better than 1.x264 2P 768k Ultra - Pretty much as 1.x264 1P 1024k Ultra - Good and quick (same setting as PSP Video 9: Video Quality-High, I think.).It is very hard to see the differences on the PSP screen, but as I occasionally view on a 20" PC monitor I tend to use that and the differences are more noticeable. If you get a chance can you post your results? I'd be interested to know what you find when you test. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll go do some testing! They will be twice as large though (about 800MB - 1.2GB for a movie.) So if you sometimes want to watch these MP4 conversions on your PC it is better to go for something like x264 2P 768k Ultra, or x264 1P 1024k Ultra (for faster conversions) and you will find these look better on your PC monitor. However, on larger displays, like PC screens, smooth gradients and dark scenes will have visible artifacts. I found the HQ (constant quality) settings give a small file size which is fine on the PSP screen. Not Ghosting related, but just in case it is useful: Hope you manage to reduce the Ghosting, good luck. It's great for creating short "Test" files for conversion. Select Backup and save the DVD file to the Hard Drive. Then use the "set start and end frame" tool to cut out the small scene. You open the DVD file, select Re-Author and drag the main move to the left hand side window. It is easier if each Test sample starts at the Ghosting point in the scene.ĭVD Shrink is very useful and easy to use. You can then view each small sample to see which settings gave the best results. Then try converting this small scene in XviD4PSP as Test1, Test2 etc., each with different settings, and pop the small test samples on the PSP. The conversions of a short scene can be done in less than 5 minutes. You can use DVD Shrink to, easily, cut a small section out of a DVD/Movie file, one with a scene that suffers Ghosting. Some PSP models suffer more with this than others. I am using version 5.036 (some say it works better with Windows7) and select GhostsBusters MPEG2Fix in the Brightness/Contrast settings.
