Kinoma Producer 3 supports Sony PlayStation Portable
Award-winning video encoding software now targets popular handheld gaming console
Palo Alto, Calif. May 23, 2005 - Today Kinoma, Inc. enhanced their award
winning Kinoma Producer 3 software by adding high quality video encoding for
Sony’s popular PlayStation Portable (PSP). Getting video onto a PSP has never
been easier – simply select the video files and desired quality level and Kinoma
Producer 3 goes to work, transforming the video into a high quality PSP
compatible format. The video is then copied to a Memory Stick Duo, ready for
immediate playback on PSP. For quick browsing on the PSP, Kinoma Producer 3
automatically creates a thumbnail image for each video clip.
Kinoma
Producer 3 is designed for people who don’t want to waste their time becoming
video compression experts. With an easy to understand interface and carefully
selected video encoding presets, Kinoma Producer 3 takes the guesswork out of
transferring video to the PSP. The same power and ease of Kinoma Producer 3 is
available for users of both Windows and Mac OS X.
Users of video on
computers have long had to grapple with the wide variety of digital video file
formats. Kinoma Producer 3 eliminates this confusion by converting most commonly
used video files into a PSP compatible format. Both Windows and Macintosh users
can convert AVI, DV, MPEG-4, 3GPP, QuickTime, and MPEG files, in addition to
most other QuickTime compatible files. Windows users can also convert Windows
Media compatible files including Windows Media Video and ASF files, as well as
most DirectShow compatible video file formats.
“Kinoma is the first to
deliver ‘drag and drop & port’ ease for getting personal video onto the
PSP,” says Richard Doherty, Research director for the Envisioneering Group.
“Kinoma handles all the tricky audio and video encoding, delivering a wide range
of PSP video screen modes and playback economies. That means longer playtime per
Memory Stick and faster drag and drop porting as you race out the
door.”
