Mobile Porn Comes Alive With PlayStation Portable

SAN FRANCISCO — With Sony’s PlayStation Portable and a technique using simple programs available for free on the web, adult entertainment fans have a new device to conveniently watch their porn.

The handheld PlayStation Portable (PSP), released Thursday, is a proprietary media-storage device for playing games, music and video. It has been called the iPod of portable video.

The $250 gadget is essentially a handheld PlayStation 2 console that features stereo sound and a sharp, 4.3-inch color screen.

The home video arm of the Walt Disney Co. said it will release titles for the PSP such as "National Treasure," "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Hero."

But downloading copyrighted material can be torturous because the PSP uses Sony's Universal Media Disc for video, which includes locks.

That’s where Sajeeth Cherian’s free programs come in.

With the use of a simple technique using two of his developed programs, you can store and watch porn after transferring the content from a PC.

PSP Video 9 is an application that converts several digital video formats — including MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and AVI — to PSP format. Working with Videora, PSP Video 9 can automate video transfers from BitTorrent to your PC to your PSP.

Software developer Cherian, interviewed by Wired this week, describes the marriage of PSP Video 9 and Videora as "PSPcasting" — much like podcasting, which enables mobile devices to store and playback audio.

The popularity of the technique has caught fire in Japan, where PSP Video 9 has been downloaded more than 10,000 times in the three months that the PSP has been available.

“People in Japan are creating weird little clips already encoded in the PSP format" to distribute through BitTorrent, Cherian told Wired. "They want other people to download and watch [the videos], and they want to get comments and feedback. I think it's going to be pretty popular.

“You don't have to make the video into Sony's proprietary format. You can create a high-res video for people to view on the PC, and use Video 9 to scale it down and make it available on PSP too."
