[madnlooney]

have you got it renamed correctly?

 

[d34n]

hmmm, i'm assuming i havnt due to i havnt got a clue what you mean!

how does this work?

Sometimes I download films and get corrupted data but most times they are fine. Try using psp9 video converter...it may help.

 

[d34n]

i just tried that program and got the same problem

 

[madnlooney]

if a video file isn't named "M4V1000number.mp4" and located in the \MP_ROOT\100MNV01 the psp doesnt see it.

Try renaming it to M4V10001.mp4 and place it in the folder above

just tried it like that now and its still coming up with Corrupted Data

I name all mine to their real film name and they work no probs, just the odd one says corrupted but I assumed they were bad downloads.

Never had any problems with Apollo...

just check everything is named propperly again...if it is then maybe its a bad download / conversion.

i just did a small avi clip with apollo and it works fine.

here is the otput folder

so inside the MP_ROOT folder it made the folder 100MNV01 then the 2 files files converted by apollo inside.

M:\MP_ROOT \ 100MNV01 \ M4V20010.MP4 & MV420010.THM

Never thought of renaming and putting any corrupted ones in that folder, I just download them and shove them in /video and they play fine 90% of the time

well the films works, ive played the .mp4 after the conversation and it works. it just dont do anything on the psp just says corrupted still.

well if all the above is correct have you tried formatting the memory card or deleting the config.se file from FLASH1? or restoring factory defaults?

@ jaffa

yes mate the MP4 file will work in the video folder too.

it's just that apollo (and others) use the MP_ROOT as the default folder when transfering.

the .THM file isnt really needed either. Its just the thumb nail picture for the video selection menu.

 

[janobi]

Have you renamed the film? As if over 13 characters it wont show properly. Although it does sound like its something else. As kryton said format the card, delete the config.se file and see what happens after that.

 

[d34n]

i formatted the memory card and formatted flash1 and still no joy, i assume doing the flash1 thing in the recovery menu is deleting the config.se file?

yeahthats right just delete the config.se

 

[d34n]
