PSP movies going to a regular TV possible??

[pointdablame]

I agree that it makes the UMD format a BIT more useful.. but to do so, you have to spend $120.  This PSP2TV will never be hugely popular if previous add-on sales figures give us an indication, so how much does it REALLY help UMDs? 

Not much if you ask me... I'd still rather buy the DVD, play it in everything that plays DVDs, and convert it for a memory stick on my PSP.  UMD movies are useless IMHO.

What's the quality like of UMD?  Will it blow up well?  Is the resolution the same as a DVD?  With good compression a UMD is plenty big to make a movie look good on a big screen, but are the Studios assuming they will only be played on portable devices and not bothering?

UMD's use a low loss mpeg-4 encoding process.  It's vry nice.

Ha!

That's not a video adaptor.

Here is another example of one

that requires no modification of your PSP.
It uses "a precision lens and mirror system at the top, capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV"

there's a great article the new psp to tv gadget (that's mentioned in this thread) with video,  photos and other neat stuff.

Basically it was a complex (but not mind numbing) install......and they had mixed feelings about the usability of the product....

As a modder I'm tempted.....but the results don't seem to be worth the effort....
