Discover the benefits and learn all about PSP Slim & Lite's new TV-out features.
Outputting content to a TV is one of the key features of the new PSP Slim & Lite. Two questions dominate any discussion of TV-out, "What are the benefits of this new feature?" and "What is the output quality like?"
What are the benefits?
To answer the first question, it is a great way to share your content with friends. Extremely portable, you can show off your latest finds, whether photos, videos or music by simply plugging into a TV using the correct cable.
It is not just content saved on your Memory Stick Duo that can be displayed, as TV-out works with UMD, letting you output movies and games to a big screen. By doing this, you let everyone enjoy the action and drama.
If you have access to a Wireless hotspot, other PSP functions such as the Internet Browser and RSS can be used, and accessed content displayed.
Remote Play extends this connectivity to PLAYSTATION 3, letting you access and share content on the Hard Disk Drive remotely with your PSP. You can stream content from your PLAYSTATION 3 sitting in the living room wirelessly to your PSP, outputting it to the TV in your bedroom for instance.
Taking that scenario further afield, if you're away on business or holiday, you can plug your PSP into your hotel room TV and, as long as you have access to a Wireless hotspot and you're PLAYSTATION 3 is online back home, again content on the Hard Disk Drive can be accessed.
Coupled with the recent announcement of PlayTV, which lets you record live TV to your PS3, this is an amazing benefit of Remote Play and TV-out.
What is the quality like?
Quality will be dependent upon the television you're outputting to, and will vary from model to model.
Visual output from the PSP system can be set to either 16:9 or 4:3 and either Progressive Scan or Interlaced. Picture quality varies with the source media: UMD video quality is comparable to DVD, while video saved to Memory Stick Duo may not be as sharp at higher resolutions. In the case of the latter, using Screen Mode in the options menu lets you set the display dimensions to Original, Normal, Zoom and Full Screen to find a resolution right for your TV.
Sound quality is superb in any form of playback, whether video, music or game, while UMD gameplay is clear, better than early PlayStation 2 game graphics, indeed for a device so small the quality is incredible.
To use all of these features, you will need a cable and here you have two options. Exclusive to the new PSP Slim & Lite (PSP-2000 series), these cables will not work with the original PSP system (PSP-1000 series).
Component AV Cable
A Component AV Cable enables you to output photos, videos, music and games to your TV from your PSP Slim & Lite (PSP-2000). Output is in NTSC video format, so if your TV does not support this, no picture will be displayed. Additionally if your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, game images will not display.
How to spot: Five pins (See gallery image 1)
AV Cable
A standard AV Cable supports photo, video and music output from your PSP Slim & Lite (PSP-2000) to a TV, but it does not support game output. Again the output is in NTSC video; if a TV is used that does not support NTSC video format no picture will be displayed.

AVI to VCD conversion guide
--------------------------------
Greetings, in my recent time I have been trying to come up with a
method of creating good quality VCD's from avi files I gather from
the internet. After reading various guides on the net and learning
which software is the most effective, yet easiest to use I decided
to give back to the wider internet community by writing my
own conversion guide.
As you are probably aware there are a million and one conversion
guides out there, but the problem is most of the software described is
confusing to use let alone all the settings you need to understand
before you can get started. I will try to be a easy and clear as
possible.
Here goes!
Software Used=============
Virtual Dub! V1.4.9
Panasonic Mpeg1 Encoder v2.51
Roxio Easy CD Creator v5.02d (VCD Creator v5.02 is in this S/W package)
Divx Codec 5.0
------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Cutting .AVI to size.
After downloading your .AVI file you will need to make sure its
running time is less than 70min.
(this is so it will fit on a 74min CDR)
If it isn’t open Virtual Dub and cut it into smaller pieces.
Step 2: Preparing the .AVI
While in Virtual dub you can add filters to enhance the quality of your
video file. A filter I like to add that increases quality of the final result
is the 2:1 Reduction (High Quality) filter. Go to Video/Filters/Add
and select it.
Next, you must choose a compression codec, so Video/Compression and choose
a Divx codec you have installed. I recommend DivX 5.0 or DivX Fast Motion.
The Bitrate settings for this codec are very important, VCD bitrate is
1150kbps if you set it higher or lower you will usually result in a VCD that jumps
and skips, also the picture becomes blocky and unwatchable.
Ok now your ready to save your AVI file with the new settings
File/Save As AVI/ type in a name and relax until its finished.
Step 3: extracting the audio
Now open up your newly saved AVI and check to see if all is well. If it
seems good you can delete your original .AVI to save hard disk space.
Open Virtual Dub again and open up the .AVI file. Now under the Audio
menu select full processing mode then still under audio select
conversion/sample rate - 44100Hz (important it must be this) then click ok.
Now choose File/Save Wav, give it a name and it will begin
extracting the audio.
The reason for this is the sync problems you get when watching the final VCD.
Step 4: Encoding to MPEG 1 or VCD acceptable parameters.
Ok, now we should have 2 files an .AVI file and a large .WAV file.
Open Panasonic Mpeg Encoder and in the Material Files box uncheck
the Use Identical Files box. Then click Select for Video and choose the .AVI
file. Do the same for the Audio except choose the .Wav file you extracted.
In the Output file box choose Type and select VCD/Pal Stream or NTSC,
whatever floats your boat. Make sure the Video Bit Rate
is 1150 and 25 frames per second. Audio should be Stereo 224 kbps.
Click Special Processing and down the bottom choose High Quality
interpolation.(this is optional but it improves viewing quality.)
Now your all set click Start Encode and then take a brake because this
usually take 2 to 3 and a half hours to complete
(that’s if you have a fast machine)
After its complete what you are left with is a big MPEG 1 file.
Test it to see if it works fine, if it does the you can delete
the .AVI and .Wav files.
Step 5: Burning the VCD
Ok after all that’s done were almost finished. Open up Roxio VCD Creator
and hit the + button on the menu bar and select the newly created MPEG
file. Drag it over to the Contents Of VCD Layout Panel on the right,
and then hit the Red Record button.
I always burn at the slowest speed to eliminate any skips, blockyness
and distorted audio, so select 2x300kbps. Then click Start Recording.
The recording process should take about 35min maximum but don’t worry
if it takes abit longer. The end result is a VCD compliant disk that
will play in almost any standalone DVD player.
===============================================================
So I hope I have been clear in the way to carry out this whole process,
it does take a few hours but have patients. Once you know what your doing
you can fiddle around with various filters and quality settings to achieve
the look you want from your VCD. Congratulations!!
