Ripping for PSP/iPhone from DVD

These tips make great PSP movies from DVDs

Install and Rip your DVD using dvddecrypter


  1. Use IFO mode
  2. Set it to select main movie only, and File Splitting to "none".
  3. Set it to make 1 VOB.
  4. Set it to ignore hardware read errors.

Install AutoGK. Some options you'll have to go to the advanced tab for


  1. use AutoGK to create an AVI from the VOB.
  2. set width to 400
  3. Use Xvid
  4. set quality to 75 to 80 (don't go over 80, it doesn't give you much).
  5. There are not alot of options.

Convert to MP4 from AVI using PSP Video 9


  1. Use the 400x192 resolution
  2. Use the following ffmpeg options -g 300 -sameq
  3. set for 2 pass
  4. set audio to 80k to 96k (IMO), Stereo.
  5. I use a Framerate of 14.985 FPS, and a bitrate of 512kbps (400kbps is also decent).
  6. If you have a PSP with 2.50 (or later) firmware, maybe consider the AVC video codec, but it takes a lot more space.
  7. Tweaking the sound volume over 100% might help on the PSP, but I've had little luck with it. I bought a Bostaroo instead, works great.480
