CloneDVDMobile 1500 bitrate & 128 Audio bt

[BigRed]

Hey Video Freaks lol....

I have edited the devices.ini for CloneDVDMobile So it has settings for DA's 303 OE-B full screen, and a MAX bitrate of 1500 and max Audio rate of 128. The quality is GREAT !!!! best i have seen
Although the file size is larger thats ok for some people like me who just play music videos on there PSP.

Just extract Devices.ini to the directory of CloneDVDMobile and replace the existing file

Post back and tell me if it works for you :rolleyes:

Enjoy

You should really start with the PSP h.264 entry:


[PlayStation Portable (AVC/H264, Firmware Version >= 2.6)]
PixelLimit=76800
ResUnit=16
ScreenRatio=16:9
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=320x240
ResAna1=368x208
VCodec=h264
ACodec=aac
ARate=48000
ABRate=64
Volume=400
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=psp
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=h264:coder=1:a codec=aac
FileType=mp4
; Uncomment the two lines below for firmware < 2.6
;NTSCFrameRate1=29.97
;NTSCFrameRateDeinterlace1=29.97
PALFrameRate1=29.97
DirPath=MP_ROOT/100ANV01/MAQ1
Quality=15
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
MaxVBitrate=768
ThumbNail=THM
AllowChapterFiles=0

Then realize that the pixel limit was eliminated, so that line can go. The ResUnit is still 16 as far as I understand it - only the pixel limit, bitrate, and framerates were messed with. The ResUnit tells CloneDVDmobile that resolutions have to be multiples of the value given. This means that resolutions for this profile need to be multiples of ResUnit. Didn't you ever wonder why the PSP screen is 480x272 when 480x270 is EXACTLY 16:9? It's because 270 isn't a multiple of 16, while 272 is.

Then you need to understand what ResN and ResAnaN stand for... there are two encoded aspect ratios for DVDs: regular (4:3), and anamorphic (16:9). The ScreenRatio entry in the profile tells CloneDVDmobile the physical aspect ratio of the display. Then ResN corresponds to the resolutions for normal (4:3) video, and SHOULD BE 4:3. You might be able to encode in some other aspect ratio then force the PSP to resize it for the display, but it's best to use the proper aspect ratio to begin with. We should really have two sizes - one for medium resolution where details don't matter and we want a smaller file, and one for the highest resolution the device will display. ResAnaN corresponds to anamorphic (16:9) video and should be 16:9. Again we really want at least two modes.

So given the relaxation of certain restraints and the original profile, we get a new profile:


[PlayStation Portable (AVC/H264, Firmware Version >= 3.03 OE-B)]
ResUnit=16
ScreenRatio=16:9
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=320x240
Res2=368x272
ResAna1=368x208
ResAna2=480x272
VCodec=h264
ACodec=aac
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Volume=400
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=psp
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=h264:coder=1:a codec=aac
FileType=mp4
PALFrameRate1=29.97
DirPath=MP_ROOT/100ANV01/MAQ1
Quality=10
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
MaxVBitrate=1500
ThumbNail=THM
AllowChapterFiles=0

[Chilly Willy]

Okay, just a few more notes:

The Quality line sets the default quality when using a profile. If you want the high end, 39 equates to 1491 kbps and is the highest you get within the 1500 kbps restriction we use.

A little more info about ResN and ResAnaN - if your DVD is normally encoded, the ResN modes will be the only ones presented to you in the GUI. If your DVD is anamorphically encoded, the ResAnaN modes will be the only ones presented to you in the GUI.

I ran CloneDVDmobile with my profile, with the selection of 480x272 at quality 39, on the Star Wars III Nostalgia trailer. Here's the result. Remember, it goes in the MP_ROOT/100ANV01 directory.

Thanks for the script! I wanted to try CloneDVDmobile ... now i can! However there's a problem... when using anything 4:3 CloneDVDmobile converts to full res (480x272) without any black bars. Weird. :confused:

[Chilly Willy]

Are you sure it's 480x272, or is it just the PSP stretching the video on the fly? Check the MP4 with something that reports the video stream dimensions... like gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/).

I see what you're talking about... I encoded a 4:3 video at 368x272 with CloneDVDmobile and the PSP won't let you change the screen mode - it seems stuck on zoom or full screen. Very weird since I have 4:3 videos made by PSP Video 9 at 320x240 that work fine. I think I'll try CloneDVDmobile at 320x240 to see if that's related. It seems that DA's patch to remove the pixel limit and bitrate limit has a few issues.

Take a look at this...encoded myself.

It's from one of the ATi x1800 Tech Demos.

Wow! You can tell it's from a high-def source.

Back to the 4:3 problem... I encoded an episode of Robot Chicken using identical settings in CloneDVDmobile, except one was 320x240, and the other 368x272. The 320x240 acts like it's supposed to, but the 368x272 is stuck on zoom/fullscreen. I would guess at this point it's an issue with the way 3.03 OE-B bypassed the limits in the firmware.

AFAIK only the 480x272 (16:9) limit was patched and not any other aspect ratios like 4:3.

Yeah, that seems so. You can get around that by using 16:9 resolutions for the 4:3 modes, but the files will be a few megs bigger than they would have been since you're encoding black bars on the sides of the video. However, it does work. So the profile I'm using is:


[PlayStation Portable (AVC/H264, Firmware Version >= 3.03 OE-B)]
ResUnit=16
ScreenRatio=16:9
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=480x272
Res2=368x208
Res3=256x144
ResAna1=480x272
ResAna2=368x208
ResAna3=256x144
VCodec=h264
ACodec=aac
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Volume=400
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=psp
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=h264:coder=1:a codec=aac
FileType=mp4
PALFrameRate1=29.97
DirPath=MP_ROOT/100ANV01/MAQ1
Quality=39
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
MaxVBitrate=1500
ThumbNail=THM
AllowChapterFiles=0

I made the ResN entries the same as the ResAnaN to get around the 4:3 issue, added one more mode for small resolution, and reordered the resolutions from largest to smallest since CloneDVDmobile picks the first mode by default.

By the way, CloneDVDmobile seems to always write the video bitrate as 672 kbps. No matter what bitrate I've encoded at, it always says 672 in the info... which is good because if it set the header at more than 768, it wouldn't allow you to play it. As it is, the Quality set to 39 yields a bitrate of 1491 kbps which is much better looking than 768.

Thanks for file.

Chilly Willy you have now seen you have a rival in dizypher!!!.:D :D :D

I am joking CW.;)

You are really competent in the field of the video encoding.

I believe that you are not an impassioned, I think that to understand so much you of it you work in this field.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge for us.;)

I've been making rips of my DVDs into xvid via VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod and AviSynth for a LONG time. I like trying these various methods of making PSP videos, be it CloneDVDmobile (simple one-step conversion of DVD), or PSP Video 9 (not as simple, but completely free), or PMP Mod, or whatever. I still need to try the 3GP transcoder... they just posted a new ini file for it this morning. :)

[psycon]

Thii loike this converter, xvid4psp jsut crashes on me, cant use it at all..

problem with your conifg though..

i am trying to encode the TMF yearmix,all the videos are 16:9, but the dvd is 4:3 (black bars are part of the encodeing).. seems clonedvds zoom funtion does not work with your config, it goes and all, but still records the full 4:3 frame. I have tried messing with the config items to try and get it to work, but nogo...

When encoding at 308x272 (or whatever it is) the zoom works fine, but i want the full resolutiuon.... is there any other programs that can copy from dvd that allow cropping.. other than xvid4psp that is.

Can someone give me a really good profile for CloneDVDMobile.

Try looking four posts up from your own.

CloneDVDmobile

When DVD is anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1
1 With Aspect Ratio 480 x 272 in Normal mode I have black bars sideways.
"I know that I can use full screen"
2 With Aspect Ratio 480 x 256 in Normal mode the screen is full.
Why is there a different?
Is it better (or smaller filesize) to use the 480 x 256

[Xenogears V]

But clone dvd mobile support only .vob file, but I want convert .avi hd in 1500 bitrate & 128 Audio how can I do?.

Well, as the name suggests, CloneDVDmobile is for converting DVDs. Go fig... :D

I don't think there's a way to make it work on AVIs short on converting the AVI to a DVD first. If you're primarily converting AVIs into PSP videos, you'd be better off with something like Xvid4PSP or PSP Video 9. I'm not sure about 3GP Converter... it may work for that too.
