Getting your DVDs and videos onto a PSP
You have a stack of DVDs and a folder of video files, and your PSP will only play certain formats. Converting them one by one with separate tools gets tedious. 4Videosoft DVD PSP Suite bundles two programs, a DVD to PSP Converter and a Video to PSP Converter, so both jobs happen in one package.

Key features
Rip a DVD to PSP-ready MP4, H.264 or AVI
The DVD converter turns a disc into MP4, H.264 (.mp4) or AVI for the PSP. It also pulls audio out as MP3, M4A, WAV or WMA. You can choose normal quality, excellent quality or minimal size MP4 depending on how much space you want to use.
Convert your existing video files for the PSP
The video converter accepts formats such as MPG, MPEG, MPEG2, VOB, MP4, AVI, M4V, RM, RMVB and WMV. It also handles HD video, converting it to PSP-compatible output.
Trim, crop, merge and adjust before converting
You can merge several files into one, cut out segments of any length, and crop the play region. You can also change the output aspect ratio and adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and volume.
Add a text or image watermark
You can overlay a text or image watermark and set its position and transparency.
Control encoder, resolution, frame rate and bitrate
You can set the encoder, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, sample rate and channels, or type in your own resolution. Custom settings can be saved as user-defined profiles for later.
Preview, snapshots, audio track and subtitle choice
You can preview the original and the converted effect in the same window. You can capture snapshots, pick the audio track and subtitle of a DVD, and use deinterlacing on interlaced sources. The vendor says it supports dual-core CPUs for faster conversion.
Who it's for
It suits you if you own a PSP and want to watch your DVD movies and personal video files on it. It is a Windows-only tool built around that one device.
