Collecting PSP info

so... it's either drm that's required for full rez playback or they just screwing with NA customers...

lexor it is known that they restrict resolution for the normal customers since a long long time on the PSP the PSP is able todo 1.5 Mbit Main Profile full SD resolution but only restricted to the UMD Part. The PSP has 3 Video Modes Code:

In that case, wouldn't it make more sense to determine exactly what the maximum vbv buffer size is, and use that information to determine whether the average bitrate can be higher than people assume, because it was going way over the vbv before?

The size of the VBV doesn't matter ( it's around a second while a complicate scene often lasts more than that )The max bitrate does matters, since it's completely correlated to the decoding time. Average bitrate doesn't ( ought not ) matter when it comes to material limitations, since it's not correlated. Finally, average bitrate isn't written in the video stream. What is written is the maximum bitrate, when there is one. Of course, all that is true for h264 in general. PSP seems to love useless limitations, so a limitation on the average bitrate, though it makes to sense at all, wouldn't surprise me either...
