Your collection of DVD movies may be very well chosen and extensive, but still they are somewhat limited by the medium format. You can only watch a DVD on a DVD player or on your computer. But what if you wanted to watch some of them on the move, while you commuted every day to work, for instance? In that case you shall have to think of ways of encoding your DVD-s into some other, portable format. And this is exactly why you would want to convert DVD to PSP.
Sony’s PlayStation Portable, or PSP, is a wonderful gadget. Not only can it provide you with hours of entertainment with fun games, but it can also play movies! How cool an experience it is to be able to play games non-stop, and then when your fingers are tired of pressing the buttons or toggling the switches continuously, to be able to switch smoothly to watching the latest blockbuster from Hollywood!

But where do you get movies for the PSP? Sony has created a new form of disc for the PSP, known as the Universal Media Disc. Many movie companies used to release new movies in UMD form, for the benefit of PSP users. But recently this trend has slackened somewhat. For financial and other reasons, many of these companies have stopped releasing for the PSP. So finding new titles for this versatile little hand-held may be more difficult nowadays than it was a year or more ago. This is one more reason why you should learn to convert DVD to PSP.

DVD video is only lightly compressed, which is why it can provide such great resolution and picture quality. But the screen of a hand-held device is much smaller than that of a TV or a computer monitor, so you don’t need as much resolution or density. There are high-quality compression programs available for free on the internet which can convert DVD to PSP. By reducing screen aspect and through other methods, they can produce a very small file for the PSP which you can put on the device through its memory stick. In this way, you can enjoy all your favorite movies on the move, without having to invest a lot on the latest overpriced portable movie player!

Sony introduces another PMP in China dubbed PMX-U50. We reported already earlier about the neat 4.3 inch Sony PMX-M70 PMP.

The Sony PMX-U50 actually is in the same form factor and shares design elements of the 2003 introduced Sony PCVA-HVP20.
Sony’s Shanghai based design team for the PMX-U50 gave the PMX-U50 a slim contour and a 2.4 inch screen.
Features of the PMX-U50 include MP4 video support, MP3 and WMA music file support, FM tuner, voice recorder, FM radio recorder, built-in speakers, clock, calendar and equalizer.
The battery life is about 12 hours for listening to music and 3 hours for watching video.
The PMX-U50 comes in 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB flash memory configurations and in 3 colors: black, white and pink.
Measurements of this 2.4 inch screen featuring PMP are 68.3×86.4×6.8 (thinnest point) mm. The weight is only 68g.

As with the more exciting Sony PMX-M70, the PMX-U50 is currently only available in China.

Hackers have crafted an exploit based on an unpatched vulnerability in Winamp, the popular media player package.

Security bugs within Winamp’s MP4 decoding allow miscreants to slip malware onto the PCs of users running Winamp version 5.34.

The vulnerability has been coded into a script kiddie friendly exploit, however a number of mitigating factors make attacks based on the flaw difficult to carry out.

“After install Winamp is associated with .MP4 files. However, Winamp does not open .MP4 files embedded within websites,” the SANS Institutes’s Internet Storm Centre notes.

Miscreants would have to trick users into attempting to play a maliciously constructed MP4 file using Winamp for the trick to be successful. Users are advised to remove the association between .MP4 files and Winamp as a workaround until a vendor supplied patch is available
