It has been quite a while since we have featured an update of uNn99's useful app- the AVItoPMP. In case you are in the dark about this app, this is actually a conversion tool that will allow you, lucky PSP gamers, to convert your VOB and AVI files (DivX/Xvid) to PMP format so you can play them at full resolution in your PSP. AVItoPMP by uNn99 has been dubbed as a top-of-the-line application, so make sure to give it a shot. Now, we're bringing to you AVItoPMP v1.0.2. and it boasts of the following:
* friendly interface * uses the fastest video encoder - "Mencoder" * supports .avi, .mov, .vob, .mpg, .wmv (auto rescale may not work with some videos, other than .avi) * auto determines source resolution and calculates rescaled resolution (auto saves aspect ratio), but also has an option to use wide-screen resolution or use auto-crop before rescaling to wide-screen (also saves aspect ratio) * video section has all commonly used mencoder options * supports 2 codecs - "DivX" and "XviD" * supports 2 encoding modes: constant bitrate and variable bitrate ("quantizer") * has an "Preview" function - test your settings before encoding the entire film! * supports 2 audio encoders: "BeSweet" and "Mencoder" * supports subtitles (tested on english and russian subs) * supports a queue of jobs * supports saving settings into .ini file * works with non-english paths and filenames (tested on russian)
We mentioned before that it has been quite a while since we have given you updates on this one, so we are going to try to make up for that. When we first featured the app, it was in version 0.9.1, over the months the app has been improved to v0.9.2, v0.9.5, v0.9.6, v0.9.7, v0.9.8, v1.0.0, v1.0.1 and finally to v1.0.2. Each time it has been updated, the app is improving and reaching its potentials and it also goes to show how uNn99 has been perfecting his craft as a homebrew developer. So wih that, here is the quite length changelog.
Changelog v.0.9.1: - an option to change 'frames per second' - an option to use MediaInfo to read Aspect Ratio of the source - some video have black borders, but in AR info they contain real resolution (without black borders) - in this case it can help to correctly crop video - now you can manually edit original resolution values - a few little modifications
v0.9.2: - a number of different fixes. Now it should work with any paths...
