Mine doesn't cook dinner for me at night. Then again, THE BOX, ADVERTISEMENTS, OR REVIEWS never claimed it would.

no they didn't say it, but MPEG-4 support, what do you think that means? I mean, they wouldn't support QT (I sure as hell hope not anyways).

actually, iirc QT is the official MPEG4 codec.

divx and xvid are not the real mpeg4.

Also, MPEG-4 support means it's supports MPEG-4, nothing else. Do you also think your DVD player plays VHS tapes because it says "video"?

i was under the assumption (perhaps mistaken) that divx was mpeg-4.

They are all derivatives of mpeg standards.

I really don't see why you are even posting. You can always convert your files, and it's not like the viewing experience will be corrupted by the small loss in quality on the massive screen it has....

As has already been posted, divx is based on MPEG4 but is its own separate codec.

You would have had to re-encode them anyway, were you really going to take 700 meg videos with you?

from apple's site:
With this kind of extensibility, it?s no surprise that the ISO chose the QuickTime file format as the foundation for the new MPEG-4 standard.

Okay, maybe I should clairfy. Overall, the PSP makes me happy. I just don't like sony's choice of mpeg-4 codecs.

And bidders, once you get into the upper $300s, send me a P.M. I'll consider.

actually most of us arnt 12 and we couldent care less about the damn PSP

12 year olds play gameboys...
PSPs are adult toys...
I sure as hell wouldnt let my kid touch it. .. its not exactly built to be manhandled...
they are not targeting the kiddies SOny has stated over and over this is targeted at the 20-30 soemthings tech/gadget geeks out there
they dont want to compete with Nintendo on that front as they will win..
they are building a toy for guys like me that love games movies and music even while at work.. on the road... on a plane.. etc etc etc...
this is perfect for Military members as well...

honestly, the PSP does everything it claimed to do so that's good

don't complain if you have buyer's remorse now. it's only 250 bucks, you can resell it for 200+ probably still

like i said before, overall, its still frickin' awesome. If it played divx, though, I'd worship sony as the next god.

either or. They aren't too much different, and 90% of my video collection is divx. I've already got a divx encoder, now I have to spend money to buy sony's encoder/recoder. makes me angry.
