Hi first off nero recode isn't realy idea for copying dvd's to psp, it's much better suited for "shrinking" dvd 9 down to dvd 5. don't worry about the .thm file this is just a thumbnail taken from the first frame of the movie. If you follow the guide below, this will work no problem. You will get just as good results, it will also let you copy all the vob files into one big file for easy conversion to the psp. And all the software is free ( the links are provided ) i hope you find this usefull, if you need any further help let me know
DVD to PSP Conversion Guide
Requirements :

6-8 GB of free hard-disk space (for DVD ripping + converted files). PSP with sufficient storage capacity


Software Downloads :

PSP Video 9 from http://www.pspvideo9.com/
DVD Decrypter from http://www.riphelp.com/downloads/dvddec.html
Apple QuickTime (optional - for testing playback of converted file on your PC) from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html


Summary of procedures :

1. Step 1: DVD Ripping - Copy the DVD movie files to your hard-drive prior to using PSP Video 9;

2. Step 2: PSP Video 9 Setup

3. Step 3 : Convert movie

4. Step 4 : Testing Playback/Copying to PSP


Step 1 : DVD Ripping

1. We'll now rip the DVD ("DVD ripping" definition : copy the DVD to your hard-drive, without the DVD copy protection screwing up your files).

2. Start DVD Decrypter. From the "Mode" menu, select "IFO" (or press the "I" key on your keyboard).


3. From the "Tools" menu, select "Settings". Go to the "IFO Mode" section" and change the "File Splitting" option to "None". Press "OK" to save the setting. This setting is needed because by default, DVD movie files are split at the 1 GB limit on the original DVD. Since PSP Video 9 only supports single file inputs, it's important to ensure that no splitting occurs during ripping.

4. If you look in the "Input" window, you will notice that a "PGC" (of a particular VTS set) has been selected for you. DVD Decrypter, by default, select the PGC with the longest running time - this is usually the main movie itself, so it is useful if you are planning to convert the movie, and not one of the extras.

5. If there are more than one PGC with the same length, then select any one of them will do. If there are many PGCs each with a slightly different length, then this may suggest that there are several versions of the same movie on the disc (eg. Terminator 2 theatrical cut, director's cut, extended cut ...), so make sure you select the version that you want to convert (eg. check the back of the DVD box to see the running time of each version).

6. You can also choose only a particular chapter of the movie to rip by selecting/de-selecting the chapters listed. You can right click on this section and select all/no chapters (or invert your selection).

DVD Decrypter : Chapter Select

7. Now click on the "Stream Processing" tab and check the "Enable Stream Processing" option. This screen shows all the available audio, and subtitles within the current PGC/movie. Make sure that only the video, one audio track and no subtitle tracks are selected. Note that DTS audio tracks are supported by PSP Video 9 (although there isn't an advantage to selecting DTS audio, as the audio will be downcoverted anyway). If there are lots of options to select/de-select here, you can right click on this area and select one of the mass select/de-select options.

DVD Decrypter : Stream Selection


8. Now select a destination directory for your ripped files (check and make sure you have enough hard disk space first - a typical DVD will be 4-8 GB in size, with the main movie usually between 4 and 6 GB).

DVD Decrypter : Destination

9. Finally, press the big "Decrypt" button to start the ripping process ...



Step 2 : PSP Video 9 Setup

PSP Video 9 Setup

1. Start PSP Video 9. If this is the first time you've used PSP Video 9, you may get a screen that detects whether your PSP is connected or not. If your PSP is not connected, then you can skip this screen by selecting "Manually Specify PSP Directory".

2. Click on the "Setup" button at the top of the screen. This should bring you to the PSP setup screen.

PSP Video 9 : Setup

3. The four main settings that we need to be concerned about are "Default Profile", "Output Video to", "PSP Drive" and "Video Numbers".

4. Default Profile: This is possibly the most important option, as this determines the quality and file size of final video. The profiles are listed in the following format:

Video Resolution/Framerate/Video Bitrate {Stereo or Mono}/Audio Bitrate

For the video bitrate, there are two types of profiles - one that says somethings like "1500kbps" and another that says something like "QB4". The first one uses a constant bitrate (not as good quality, but easier to predict the final file size), and the other uses variable bitrate. With constant bitrates, the higher the value the better the quality (and larger the file size). With variable bitrate, the lower number indicated, the better the quality (eg. QB4 is better than QB 10).

The following table shows you the output size for some of the selected profiles, which you can use as a rough guide to select the right profile for you:

Original Clip Properties:
Format: DVD VOB Length: 1 minute 50 seconds Size: 91.2 MB Selected Profile: Output Size:
320x240/15fps/216kbps Mono/48kbps 4.07 MB
320x240/29.97fps/QB4 Stereo/96kbps 6.10 MB
320x240/29.97fps/1500kbps Stereo/128kbps 11.6 MB


Note that you can create your own profile, and also see the exact properties of any existing profile by going into the "Profiles" section of setup.

5. Output Video to: This is the directory where the output video will be saved to. You can navigate to this directory and copy the movie file manually to your PSP (if you do not use the Copy function in PSP Video 9 to perform the same action).

6. PSP Drive: This is the location if your PSP drive, which is used to store your output video if you use PSP Video 9's copy function.

7. Video Numbers: In order for PSP video files to be playable, they must be named a certain way. The format of the naming is:

MV4*****.mp4

The ***** represents a 5 digit number. PSP Video 9 will automatically increment the number listed in this setup option for you when it creates a new video file. You can manually change it here in case you already have video files using these numbers or if you want to reset the number back to a lower number.

Step 3 : Convert movie

1. Now that the hard work has been done, it's time for PSP Video 9 to do it's work and convert the movie to PSP video format. This step will take the longest, but won't require any user interaction.

2. Click on the "Convert" button at the top of the screen. This should bring you to the PSP conversion screen.

3. Click on the "Convert New Video" button and navigate to the directory that contains your ripped DVD files (see Step 1: DVD Ripping, sub-step 8 above), and select the ripped VOB file (usually named VTS_0X_1.VOB, where X is a number) and press "Open"

PSP Video 9 : Select VOB file

4. Once you press "Open", the video/audio conversion process will start. All you have to do now is wait for the DVD to be converted.

5. You can also click on the "New Job" to add more videos to convert to the queue.


Step 4 : Testing Playback/Copying to PSP

1. The converted video will now be located in the "Output Videos to" directory specified in Step 2: PSP Video 9 Setup above. You can navigate to this directory, and you should see two files created for each video (a .MP4 and a .THM thumbnail) file. If you have QuickTime installed, you can open the MP4 file and play it back to test its quality.

2. If you are happy with the converted DVD, you can now copy the file to your PSP. There are two ways to do this - one within PSP Video 9, and also manually. With either method, you have to ensure your PSP is connected to your computer using the USB connection.

3. Copy within PSP Video 9: Click on the "Copy" button at the top of the screen. This should bring you to the PSP Video 9 copy section.

PSP Video 9 : Copy

Here, you can select a file and click on the "Copy Video to PSP" to copy the video file to your PSP.

4. Manual Copy: If you don't want to use the copy facility within PSP Video 9, you can copy your video files manually to your PSP. First, navigate to your PSP's storage drive (eg. F). Create a directory called "MP_ROOT" if it does not exist - go into this directory and create a sub-directory called "100MNV01" (that's 3 zeroes) if it does not exist. You should now have a directory structure similar to:

F:\MP_ROOT\100MNV01

Now copy your MP4/THM files that PSP Video 9 created to the above directory.

5. And that's it , nice and simple.
