PlayStation Vita homebrew releases have significantly slowed in the last few months but some developers are still creating useful stuff for the system. This time, we have VideoDebug which is a plugin that finally makes the native video application useful!
The video formats supported when the VideoDebug plugin is used are the same ones that the PSVita natively supports which are:
◾MPEG-4 Simple Profile Level 6, Maximum 1280 x 720 pixels, AAC
◾H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Baseline/Main/High Profile Level 4.0, Maximum 1920 x 1080p, AAC
◾Both the video and audio format must be compatible for videos to work
From some limited testing of my own on FW 3.60, I was able to play:
◾‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga @ 640×360 (360p) 24FPS
◾This video by ashens @ 1280×720 (720p) 25FPS
◾An episode of Koutetsujou No Kabaneri @ 1280×720 (720p) 24FPS which has a file size of around 500MB
◾Videos without an audio track didn’t want to play on my device. All videos tested use the H.264 codec
