Sony's PSP Media Manager v2.5 now free to download
#1
For people who aren't too savvy about converting videos or just want to manage their files on their PSP, Sony has made their PSP Media Manager available for free now.
http://www.jp.playstation.com/store/mediamanager/ Direct download: http://j.dl.playstation.net/j/mmger/...r2.5_setup.exe This is their software that they used to sell (well, stores are probably still selling it...). Edit: After using Google Translate a little bit, it sounds like they're making a Media Manager PRO or something... oh well. This should do for some folks. |

Finally. Sony should've done this 2 years ago. In the face of iTunes, trying to charge for essential software was transparently moronic. Good to see them righting obvious wrongs.
That being said, ffmpeg is my friend. I won't be using this. PS: Where's my custom playlist support!? |

Bastards. I knew there was a catch.
Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to release a few ways to encode videos easier during my Christmas break from work. One method is using Avidemux and Sharktooth's x264 settings for meGUI. I Might also make an mencoder or ffmpeg method too. |

Have a fun! Enjoy!

If publishers want to cripple their products with encryption, that's their business. I don't see why the government has any business policing it. you could always move to a country who's laws aren't completely lined up against the rights of consumers. |

messed around with it a bit more,
one thing it does alright is audio cd track ripping and adding em to your psp in one step. although it creates em into their own folder on the mem stick (but still under the music folder), so those that wanted em mixed in with the rest of your mp3s (for shuffle) may still need to move em around manually. |
