[mythtv-users] Transcoding shows for Sony PSP

[James L. Paul]

I'm currently using a clumsy process for watching TV shows on my Sony 
PSP that were recorded by my MythTV box. Basically, I'm copying the .nuv 
file to a renamed .mpg file in a network-visible directory. A windows 
application named PSP Video 9 watches that directory and automatically 
transcodes and transfers the video files to the PSP device. I can then 
watch selected TV programs on my PSP.

PSP Video 9 is a windows wrapper for FFMPEG, using the MobileHackers 
binary, which is hacked to be able to produce PSP compliant MP4 files. 
It should be possible to build this version on Linux, but I haven't 
tried that yet.

I plan to look into directly transcoding to PSP entirely within MythTV, 
but haven't been keeping up with Myth lately. I haven't updated my box 
in months. I just wanted to toss this subject in the open since I didn't 
find a single reference to the PSP in the archives and wonder if anybody 
else is looking to do something similar.
