PSP Video 9 – its now coded by the developer of Videora. It it convert and copy it to the Memory Stick once its done conversion automatically. You can even set up RSS feeds for automatic downloading (via BitTorrent) and conversion and duplicating to MS automatically.

http://www.pspvideo9.com/

http://www.pspvideo9.com/pspcasting.html

Use the H.264 Codec for encoding. If you have firmware 3.01 or greater, then you can get full res 480×272 video.

Get Videora here if you are interested. It will work with BitCOmet, Azureus and possibly uTorrent.

this will help you…. Use ‘zillatube’. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 video or sound formats from youtube that are compatible with windows motion picture maker(or windows media player), and more. Also for high quality conversion, use vcd mode to get good quality mpg file.

Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows motion picture maker(included in your windows machine) to create new masterpieces..

I have two folders of photos that I imported into two different collections. There are 80 photos in each collection. For my video, I would like it to play one picture from one folder than another from the other folder, just keep alternating between the two folders. Is there any way to do this?

——————————————

Answer by theOutside
Just drag the photos to the storyline in the order that you want the pictures. First put one picture in the storyline from one folder and the next from the other folder and so on. There is no faster way to do it unfortunately. Hope this helps.

Answer by Michael
There’s a program I had installed at one point that turns the whole or part of a soundtrack for a film into .mp3. I think it was actually named “DVD to MP3 and I believe NCH makes it. I used it to make soundtracks from some film musicals that never had ones of their own produced.

Here’s a link that might help:

http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html

Or this:

http://dvd-to-mp3.software.informer.com/

What you are wanting to do is technically called RIPPING, ’cause you are ripping the soundtrack from a motion picture (.avi, .mkv, etc.) file. s I comprehend your question, that is what you want to do, right?

Answer by Mujer Alta
If you have the XP or Vista versions of Motion picture Maker, making a separate audio file is easy. It cannot be done with Windows Live Motion picture Maker. (Well, it can be done but you’d need to install audio extracting software. I use and like Pazera Audio Extractor to convert my audio files when I just need a swift conversion. Download is the tiny button with the blue text.)

http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/

In XP or Vista: Open the video with the audio you want to save in Timeline View. Click the tiny + sign on the left side of the video track. Click on the audio track and drag it straight down into the Music/Audio track below it. Do not panic when the video track disappears. The original video you opened is fine.

To save the audio: Publish To… My Computer. On the first page of the save dialog, give the audio a new name (so you do not overwrite and replace the original video file with the audio file) and a place to be saved to. On the second page, click on “More Settings” and choose the highest quality (in Vista it’s the second one down that is 156 Kbps). Click the button and wait for the audio to be rendered. Done.

You can open these WMA files directly in Audacity (at least, in the 1.3.13 beta version).
