if you resized it to the size i said - and saved it as a .PNG file it should work perfectly

the only time i have got the film strip is if i have rezised incorrectly


try it again

Ok this is the craic, it seems that the acdsee software is great for doin thumbnails, and yes the trail version will resize ur pictures! But (i hope u dont take offence by this raven) ther is one wee small thing u forgot about when using acdsee in resize options make sure the PRESERVE ASPECT RATIO box is unchecked then enter ur size in the pixels box. Thanks for the help raven and links. cheers bud

OK, I'm nearly there but I don't know what you mean when you have to change the extention of your file into .thm format. How do you do this? Please reply.

right you first have to take off "hide extension name" in the control bar (ps save the image and zoom in if you cant see)




also you access this by opening any folder clicking on tools then folder options then clicking on the view tab

ope this helps anymore probs gimme a shout

I don't know why, but I asked my friend about how to do this and he said something about psp video 9. So I downloaded it. It works great!!! When using this I don't need to make a thumbnail. I don't know hy this is though. Anyway, thanks for your help.

plus for the people that don't know crap and that don't want to learn anything. WE ARE JUST MESSING WITH YOUR MINDS.
LOL nah, Ravenlife made this because there are people that have ripped dvds but cant put on an thumbnail. yes there is Video 9 and it will make an thumbnail, but there are people that want to do the most difficult thing as well.

yeh i even found a free one that works well

its called picturegirdle or photogirdle or something (google it if you dont want the trial)

*EDIT* Here's the guide

Here is what you need
PictureGirdle - http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,39025602,39156291s,00.htm – it’s free
A picture of the film/music video – just browse Google for the picture – I’m using Spiderman 2 for this example


1. Extract PictureGirdle and Open it up (the best thing about this program is that there is no need to install it

2. Click on open and browse for your picture

3. To resize the photo type in 160 in the X box – and 120 in the Y box



4. Click on resample and save (it will name it the same as your original file but with a underscore _ at the end)

5. make sure you have turned off the hide extensions in the settings tool box



6. Now go and rename your picture (make sure it’s the same name as your video M4Vxxxxxx) and rename the extension to .THM

7. Copy the thumb (and your video if you haven’t) over to your psp

x://MP_ROOT/100MNV01/ (x being your removable drive)

8. Switch on your psp and enjoy your custom thumbs



Hope you find this helpful

RavenLife

Hey Raven, just had a quick question. Like that other guy, I downloaded this video from Google Video already in MP4 format for the PSP. Only thing is, unlike PSP Video 9, this one doesn't automatically make the THM file. I was trying to find a way to make one, and I stumbled upon ur method. I downloaded Picturegirdle, resized as 160x120, saved as a PNG file, renamed it with .THM at the end, and it changed into a THM file. I renamed it exactly the same as the video, put both in the correct folder, but when I look for the video on my psp, it says " Unsupported Data" with a big question mark. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Also just one more thing to add, when I resize it to 160x120, it says the size is almost the same as the original, which was 58k. But I saw ur example picture that the Spiderman pic was resized to only 5k. Was just wondering how that happened.

Make sure the box is not checked in picture girdle, also make sure u put the right figures in the right boxes: X 160 Y 120.

What bitrate is the movie encoded with? Anything over 768kbps the psp wont play it.

Is it in the right folder? Files with MAQxxxxx.MP4 go to 100ANV01.
Files with M4Vxxxxx.MP4 go to 100MNV01

Yea man I know its in the right folder. I put the right numbers in X and Y. What box are you talking about in Picture Girdle?

How do i find out the bitrate of the movie?


Thanks in advance for your help.

Also a weird thing is, when I resize it to 160x120 in Picture Girdle, the size of the picture increases, almost always to 57 or 58kb's. It doesn't reduce to like 5 or 6kb. The rest of my THM files for the rest of my movies are that small. Not sure if that's relevant or not.
