How to convert video files for PlayStation Vita, tips etc. Conclusion

On December 17PlayStation VitaSince it was released, soonTaking advantage of cooperation function with torne and comfortable commuting lifeAlthough it is sending, but because it is too comfortable to watch recorded programs one by one, at the end there is no program to watch at hand.

In PS Vita, in addition to recorded programs, I can properly reproduce even encoded video that I encoded by myself, so I thought whether to put the video that was in hand at the end from one end and see it ...... As it is not necessary to see it as it is, a bit of setting and tips became necessary, so I tried writing an article instead of a memo.

First, Vita's screen size is 5 inch organic EL display. The main unit resolution is 960 x 544,The resolution when torn exports with high resolution is 720 x 480It has become.

Actually tried with various sizes, it was playable if it was HD 720p (1280 x 720) size. Also,Supported codecs are MPEG-4 Simple Profile (AAC), H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC High / Main / Baseline Profile (AAC)So,If you convert it to mp4 of 720p OKabout it.

If it is an mp4 file whose resolution is 1280 x 720 or less, you can just copy it as is, but it is not just that kind of file. For example,Yoshida-kun of hawk's claw announces unofficial slogan of Shimane prefecture without permission"Since the original resolution of the movie is 1440 x 810, it can not be played on Vita because it is slightly big. "What do you want to do, Yoshida-kun!" As soon as we convert the video, we will be able to play it on Vita.

To use it is free video conversion software "Freemake Video Converter".

In the case of this software,Configuration file for encoding movies for PSVitaThere are people who are publishing, so if you use it OK. The resolution is 960 x 544.

Actually converting ....


Conversion completed. Original movie file (MOV format) from above, 1280 x 720 MP4 file converted with Freemake Video Converter, 960 x 544 MP4 file converted with Freemake Video Converter, 960 x 544 file converted with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5.
