Dark_AleX has just released a new revision to his custom firmware, 3.03 Open Edition-B. The new update spotlights a patch which allows MP4 (as well as AVC encoded) videos to play at full 480x272 resolution, fully utilizing the PSPs video capabilities. Furthermore, it applies a handful of minor fixes and optimizations which further improve the custom firmware experience. You need to have 3.03 OE-A previously installed in order to apply the patch for the new B revision. Great work Dark_AleX, Sony has got some serious catching up to do!

Here's the official changelog:
- Patched the firmware to allow decrypted mp4-AVC videos to play at 480x272 resolution.
- pic0.png was not shown in psp isos. Fixed.
- The speed functions were not dummied after setting the speed. This could cause the few games that set the cpu speed not to run at the selected speed in the recovery menu.
- Changed the structure of the program to have more free ram in game mode.
- sysmemp.prx removed, systemctrl.prx splitted into systemctrl.prx and vshctrl.prx
- Docmaker also now allows for 1000 png (images) to be used rather than the previous 100

I updated both of my tutorials.
[Tutorial] How to customize your PSP!
Pimp my PSP! (1.50 and 3.03 Firmware on same PSP)

If you update from 3.03 OEA to 3.03 OEB, or from 3.03 OEA` to 3.03 OEB, you will not lose any customizations. Just fyi.

the cpu speed in game feature is in recovery menu is it?

Yep, the CPU speed setting is in the recovery menu.

As for converting videos to full-screen AVC, I suggest using 3GP_Converter (the free one). You can use the following settings, or modify them to your preferences. Run the program once and it should make a file called 'Transcoding.ini'; just edit this file in Notepad and add the following:

Code:

[ItemXX]
Title=AVC 480x272 768 kbps 1-pass
TitleE=AVC 480x272 768 kbps 1-pass
Command0=""<%AppPath%>\cores\ffmpeg" -y -i "<%InputFile%>" -title "<%Title%>" -timestamp "<%TimeStamp%>" -bitexact -vcodec h264 -coder 1 -bufsize 128 -g 250 -s 480x272 -r 29.97 -b 768 -acodec aac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 64 -f psp "<%OutputPath%>MAQ<%RandomNumber5%>.MP4""
Command1=""<%AppPath%>\cores\ffmpeg" -y -i "<%InputFile%>" -f image2 -ss 5 -vframes 1 -s 160x120 -an "<%OutputPath%>MAQ<%RandomNumber5%>.THM""

[ItemYY]
Title=AVC 480x272 512 kbps 2-pass
TitleE=AVC 480x272 512 kbps 2-pass
Command0=""<%AppPath%>\cores\ffmpeg" -y -i "<%InputFile%>" -title "<%Title%>" -timestamp "<%TimeStamp%>" -bitexact -vcodec h264 -coder 1 -bufsize 128 -g 250 -s 480x272 -r 29.97 -b 512 -passlogfile "<%OutputFile%>" -pass 1 -acodec aac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 64 -f psp "<%OutputPath%>MAQ<%RandomNumber5%>.MP4""
Command1=""<%AppPath%>\cores\ffmpeg" -y -i "<%InputFile%>" -title "<%Title%>" -timestamp "<%TimeStamp%>" -bitexact -vcodec h264 -coder 1 -bufsize 128 -g 250 -s 480x272 -r 29.97 -b 512 -passlogfile "<%OutputFile%>" -pass 2 -acodec aac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 64 -f psp "<%OutputPath%>MAQ<%RandomNumber5%>.MP4""
Command2="rm "<%OutputFile%>-0.log""
Command3=""<%AppPath%>\cores\ffmpeg" -y -i "<%InputFile%>" -f image2 -ss 5 -vframes 1 -s 160x120 -an "<%OutputPath%>MAQ<%RandomNumber5%>.THM""

Where it says 'ItemXX' and 'ItemYY', just change the numbers to whatever is available next after the previous settings; by default I think it's Item18 and Item19.

Both these settings worked for me; they were suggested over on the Lan.st forums, where the OE devs tend to hang out.

So ive encoded some files and they look good but is there anyway to encode them in 16:9 aspect ratio. The psp detects it as 4:3 and I have to change screen settings.
