+  <application>MEncoder</application> supports encoding to Sony PSP's video
+  format, but, depending on the revision of the PSP software, the constraints
+  may differ.
+  You should be safe if you respect the following constraints:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+  <emphasis role="bold">Bitrate</emphasis>: it should not exceed 1500kbps,
+  however, past versions supported pretty much any bitrate as long as the
+  header claimed it was not too high.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+  <emphasis role="bold">Dimensions</emphasis>: the width and height of the
+  PSP video should be multiples of 16, and the product width * height must
+  be &lt;= 64000.
+  Under some circumstances, it may be possible for the PSP to play higher
+  resolutions.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+  <emphasis role="bold">Audio</emphasis>: its samplerate should be 24khz
+  for MPEG-4 videos, and 48khz for H.264.
+</para></listitem>
