So, Ive been trying to encode video that will work on the PSP. I havnt gotten 
any of my videos to work, but I have gotten some downloaded videos to work 
(they are encoded specificly for the PSP, but also playback with mplayer).

From what I can tell, i seem to want a mp4 (divx?) scaled to 320x240, 
15-29.97fps/384kbs, stereo audio at 64kbps

Being a linux user, I figure mencoder would be the best app to re-encode 
videos, but I havnt had any luck getting them to play on the psp.

Mac Users seem to be using ffmpegX/mencoder, but its different on the mac...

Windows users seem to be using 3gp_Converter. 

Ive also found that this little device only plays videos if they are in the 
right location (on the Memory stick), and named w/in a filename convention 
(m4v?????.mp4).

Anyway, I could use some help getting mencoder to output something usable on 
the PSP...  if someone knows the right parameters and such for getting the 
right output, I would like to know more...
