Title: Psp animated menu items
Post by: neXus on March 18, 2006, 18:45:46 PM
When you put a Umd movie in or demo disk for music videos etc you get the name of movie a preview clip etc

Someone told me you can make them for movies and music you put on, Any ideas or guides you found?

Thats a start mate, you got any links?

I am sure its possible, the animated backgrounds etc are probably from hacked psps but im sure sony will offer the ability to do it.

Thumbnail would be good though

the thumbnail is just for the video file when rather than the plain video icon, i dont mean as a background

that seems to be a umd specific concept

Here is a good example of what to do.

Means at least you can make your own thumbnails.

I doubt sony will give homemade videos that full background ability as that is a feature of something they are selling.

Hoping for more use of the web functions soon a proper integrated media player controller would be good, using the browser just wouldnt be as good as a dedicated program

Also made one myself if anyone fancies a read, not much different to the one there but a couple of people have asked me about now so i might as well link to my own site to pimp it a bit
