DVD to PSP movie transfer just got faster

Makayama promises fast transfer of your DVD collection to your PSP


26 January 2006 0:02 GMT / By Stuart Miles

A new package that promises fast transfer of your DVD collection to your PSP has been launched by the Makayama, a company known for getting your DVD movies onto your mobile phone.

PSP Media Studio 2.0 promises 300% faster conversions from DVD to PSP and states that you should be able to get a full DVD transferred to the PSP in around 45 minutes.

The system, which supports home movies, downloaded films and TV-series, allows you to transfer media data with just two clicks, making it what Makayama believes is the fastest and easiest product available on the market.

The software installs an encoding package on a Windows XP computer, users pick any video file from their harddrive, CD or DVD and the PSP Media Studio turns it into a compressed movie file, which will play on the MPEG4 mediaplayer on the PSP off the memorystick. Subtitled and foreign language DVDs are also supported.

The software captures all content (AVI, MPEG1, DivX, XVID, VOB, ASF) on all drives (harddrive, CD, DVD, removable) and encodes it to PSP.

The company offers a free tryout version that allows users to convert 3 minutes of all content and doesn't expire.

The online download price is USD32.95 (EUR29.95). Existing users may upgrade for only $14.95.

  • Do NOT buy this product. I downloaded the trial version and it converted a few minutes of a DVD to PSP. Based on this, I payed for and downloaded the full version. The first DVD I tried to convert in full gave me an error message and told me that the program had to be shut down. After several attempts from their support department to fix this, they could not and I still cannot convert this DVD to PSP. The second DVD I tried to convert worked, but the picture and sound quality was appalling. The third DVD I tried to convert, ended up on my PSP with poor video, and NO sound. I followed the advice included in their help file and tried all options to get the sound to be converted as well as the video, but it didn't work.

    I eventually asked for a refund as only one in three DVD's converted successfully to be told that they do not offer refunds on products supported by a free trial version. Fair enough in most situations, but as their software did not work as advertised (at least didn't work 66% of the time in my case) I felt that a refund was warrented. I got nothing back.

    This program is rubbish, either doesn't work at all or gives very poor quality video and audio. HEED MY ADVICE - DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE     Posted by johndoe1, UK
