CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on December 05, 2008

This video converter is made by Red Kawa, the same folks who now make the popular Videora iPod video converter. Although both programs are plagued by rampant advertising, the situation is much, much worse in this one. The ads take up much more screen space than they do in the iPod video converter, and the ones for the PSP include shrill voices excitedly informing the user that you have won not one but two, yes two, iPod Nanos. And judging from the included images, they're old Nano models at that.

Although freeware with ads can be annoying, the manner of inclusion here goes beyond irritating and interferes with interface navigation. Video conversion rates were fine, but the cluttered and unintuitive UI significantly hampers the user's ability to determine what comes next: Pop-up boxes indicating subsequent steps are not easily distinguished from the ads that surround them.

We have noted many user complaints about the conversion success rate, so although we did not encounter any problems, we recommend using this converter as a near-last resort.

Publisher's description

From Red Kawa :

PSP Video 9 is a free PSP video converter that converts video files, YouTube videos, movies and DVD's so you can play them on your PSP. The software can convert all types of video files (avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, mkv, vob, mpeg, DVD's, YouTube, etc.) into the proper video formats (MPEG-4, H.264) that play on the PSP.

"Ought to be included with the PSP, Sony! Excellent app!"

Pros: Simple, guiding interface with a "conversion wizard" that guides users step-by-step, with full explanations of what one's doing and why. Makes choosing both the level of recompression and even little details like widescreen or not much easier.

Cons: As mentioned in the original Editor's Review, it is ad-supported. However, the ads are very ignorable; never heard this audio ad myself. Reminds me of the early days of the internet for all the colourful distraction; easy to use through such ad-ons.

Summary: Use it all the time to convert random vids to PSP for use on the treadmill, especially for something that might make a nice break from the iTouch. The program is free but functions exceptionally well?RedKawa's work on this is why I pursued their con... read more >>
