Keith, out of curosity, what are you using to rip the movies to the PSP? PSP Movie Creator?

I've been using Pocket DVD Studio to rip DVDs to a 4GB SD card for my iPaq and I've been pretty happy with it. But the PSP definitely has a better screen.

I use a two phase process. In phase one, I use DVD Decrypter. In phase two, I use PSP Video 9.

I would love to be able to use a product that does everything in a single pass. Is anyone using one that works?

I want control over the video quality and therefore the resulting file size. I also want to crop pixels so I can remove black bars. PSP Video 9 does a nice job on both of those requirements. And it's free. :)

I use my Dell axim to watch movies, gps, not particulary good for games, however I can get about 12 hours of battery life out of two small batteries and CF/SD are very cheap now which allow me to take several movies on a trip and find my way around when I arive at my destination. Also sometimes useful at airports that have wifi.

I forgot to mention I use DVD to Pocket PC which allows me to rip a dvd straight to a single file or compress avi files recorded from my TV card at home
