MP4s with interactive content on PSP?

Post by thebooboo »

OK, I'm no hardcore hacker or cracker here, but I was looking at the literature about the MP4 standard today, and noticed that it allows for the creation of interactive multimedia content. If this is the case, then could the PSP, being able to play .MP4 files, be able to play this interactive content if it was converted properly?

Probably a stupid question, but worth a shot...

A little more on this: The PSP uses MP4 SP (Simple Profile) and AAC.

I'm assuming that this only allows for basic moving images, but does anyone know if it allows for multiple angles, subtitles, menus or any other interactive features?

Interactivity is part of MPEG-4 Systems. There is about two players in the world which can play that kind of files. Simple profile refers to used video codec only. It is possible to put multiple audio tracks and subtitles into a mp4 file used by psp but I'm pretty confident that PSP's media player can't handle it.
