Exporting To PSP (PlayStation Portable)
EyeTV can export footage to the PSP, in the correct resolution and format, be it
4:3 or widescreen. If you have letterboxed footage in EyeTV, you can use the
Aspect Ratio controls to select widescreen, and the exported footage will be
masked appropriately.
1) Highlight the recording you wish to export in the EyeTV Programs window.
2) Select Export from the File menu.
3) Choose the “for PSP” export format.
4) Save the file. The new file name, something similar to M4V50970.MP4, is
suitable for the PSP. Note - the numbers between “M4V” and the .MP4 exten-
sion need to be unique - another file on your Memory Stick can’t have the same
name.
5) Locate the exported .MP4 file, and the file with the same name, but a .THM
extension. That’s a thumbnail file that will show up on the PSP.
6) Connect your PSP to your Mac via a suitable USB cable.
7) Turn the PSP on, and use the directional buttons to move to the far left in the
interface, which is the Settings section. Then, move up or down, until you see
“USB Connection” option, and press the X button.
8) You PSP will connect to your Mac, and your Memory Stick will be mounted
on the Desktop, most likely with the name of “Untitled”
9) In the main level of your Memory Stick, look for a folder named “MP_ROOT”.
If it does not exist, create it.
10) In the MP_ROOT folder, there should be a folder named “100MNV01”. It is
does not exist, create it.
11) Place your exported .MP4 and its .THM file into the “100MNV01” folder.
12) If you’ve erased any files from your Memory Stick, make sure to empty the
trash to clear that space.
13) Unmount the Memory Stick from the Desktop, perhaps by highlighting it,
and then using Eject “Untitled” from the File menu
14) On the PSP, press the O key to disconnect from the USB bus.
15) Use the directional buttons to move to the Video section, and then select
your Memory Stick.
16) Your movie(s) will be listed - choose a thumbnail, and use the X button to
start playback.
