iPSP has the ability to encode into two compatible video file options. To check the firmware version of your PSP, please go to "System Settings" then "System Information". To update to firmware version 2.00 you can either update from within your PSP by selecting Network Update or head to http://www.us.playstation.com/psp.aspx and click on "System Update".
- MP4: The original PSP video format, great quality for a relatively small file size. Compatible on all PSP firmware versions.
- AVC: The new PSP video format, excellent quality for a very small file size. This format is compatible only on PSP firmware versions 2.00 and above.

- Name: Specify your output filename.

- Volume Boost: Amplify the volume level up to 4x. Useful for low volume videos.
RNSK SyncSet
When encoding to AVC format from files other than MPG/MPEG you may experience out of sync output movies. In order to help out with this process we have integrated a audio/video sync manager. After you have started the encoding process to AVC format, iPSP will first encode a 60 second test movie and you will be presented with this screen.
- You will only have to adjust audio for non MPG/MPEG source files to AVC conversions.
- This screen will timeout and contunue to the full encode after 30 seconds of no user interaction.
- Use the Play pause button as needed to test synchronization.
- Adjust the Audio Delay slider to delay the audio in seconds.
- Play the video again to test the synchronization and pause as needed to adjust Audio Delay again.
- Continue this process until your video and audio are in sync.
- Press the continue button to proceed with the full encode.
- The full encode will begin with your adjusted sync value.
