encoding TiVo files for your PSP

assuming you've converted your .TiVo file to a mpeg2 that starts as 720x576 with 16x9 black bars you want to get rid of (if source is not wide screen with bars just scale to 320:240 and omit the crop):

this just does it in one pass - but you could do a two pass like i showed in my previous post.
