PSP Video 9 automates downloading video to your PSP
posted Mar 21st 2005 9:15AM
All the more exciting now that the vast majority over here in the States will actually be getting their grubby mitts
on the PSP this week comes word of PSP Video 9, a
Windows application that allows you (in combination with Videora, by the same developer) to do the equivalent of
BroadSnatching for your PSP: using the combination of RSS
and BitTorrent to automatically pull down files over the Internet and convert them for playback on the device. We
already have iPSP (Windows /
Mac) which will handle the video prep and syncing part
(plus sync saved games and some other features besides), but PSP Video 9 integrates with Videora to handle automation
of actually acquiring new content over the web as well as port it to the PSP. All of which will be very handy
considering Sony will undoubtedly take its sweet time
delivering its own video content to the device. We're all for the idea, but we have to take issue with the moniker
"PSPcasting" used by the software developer — the "casting" bit in "Podcasting" implies that one is creating content
and sending it to others. This software enables the other end of that equation — the receiving end. So wouldn't it be
more accurate to call it "PSPcatching," or perhaps "PSPsnatching"?
[Thanks, Ken!]
I believe the correct term you are looking for is "broadcatching".
But "casting" is so in (again).
when the next generation of ipod comes with wi-fi , will apple fan say its "dont u think its a bit PSPish" :)
I cant WAIT for this to come out in the UK. So, luckily for me, work are sending me Stateside next week! I think I'm going to have to get me one... or two ;) - for 'research' purposes, obviously ;)
semi: when the nextgen iPod comes with wifi - it'll be called the 'wiPod' ;) - and we'll all go wiPodding in the streets/buses/subways tuning into eachother playlists.. sharing the music, without actually copying it. ;)
Any idea how long it would take to convert an hour of video? Or how it would look from a source with a 4:3 aspect ratio?
Yeah, has anyone used the software?
how good it the psp's wi-fi
PSP's wifi seems pretty good, I haven't actually connected to any one else with it, but it did pick up my wireless home network quickly and checked for updates with out a hitch.
can you remove movies from the memory stick
i use this feature in a different way.. i use it conjunction with my tv tuner to have psp video 9 auto convert my tv shows to psp format...
just wake up sync my movies and i'm ready for the day w/5 of my most recent tv shows on my psp..
hehe..
peace
