3. Working with Video

a. Introduction and Overview The PSP will only allow playback of video files correctly named, filed and encoded to the PSP specification, MAX Media Manager PRO takes care of this process for you. MAX Media Manager PRO has two ways for you to create perfect PSP ready video, either from a file already on your system (use the VIDEO tab) or directly from an unprotected DVD (use the DVD VIDEO tab). Since the video encoding options for creating a PSP video from a file or DVD are the same, we will use the VIDEO tab as an example in this section. To create a video from a DVD, use the information in the section along with the additional information specific to DVD ripping discussed in section 3.d.
[DESIGNERS: INSERT VIDEO.EPS HERE] ADD MEDIA TO LIBRARY Click to browse for video content to prepare for playback on your PSP. (Note: if you wish to use a DVD disc as the source for your video conversion, use the DVD VIDEO tab). PC MEDIA VIEW Adding a file or files to your PC MEDIA LIBRARY does not move or duplicate the original file(s), the PC Media Library simply lists links to files you add so that you can easily encode and copy them to your PSP. PC MEDIA CONTROLS These controls affect the media items that have been added to your Media Library list. Choosing to delete an item will remove it from your list only, the file you added to the list will remain in its original location. PSP MEDIA CONTROLS These controls affect the video files on your PSP. Choosing to delete a file will permanently delete it from your PSPs memory card. When on the Batch List tab, use the EXCECUTE button to encode all jobs in the batch queue. ENCODING OPTIONS Changing the quality setting of the video encoder will affect the size and look of your videos when played back on the PSP. Lower quality settings result in smaller file sizes (allowing you to fit more video on your memory sticks) but lower visual / audio clarity. Experiment with different settings to see which suit your needs best. ENCODE / COPY Press this button after selecting a source video file and choosing your encoding settings using either the Expert Mode or Simple Mode options. EXPERT MODE TABS When in Expert Mode (click the MODE button to toggle between modes) use these tabs to control different aspects of your video encoding. SUB TABS Select PSP to encode immediately onto your PSP or select Batch Mode to add jobs to a batch queue pending execution of the batch list. PSP (or Batch) CONTENTS

When on the PSP tab, this window shows you the contents of the Video specific folder on your PSP. When on the Batch tab, this window will display the list of encoding job waiting to run when you click Execute. PSP CAPACITY METER This bar shows the amount of space you have left on your PSPs storage device (memory card or hard drive) for storing video. ENCODE / COPY BUTTON Use to convert video (using quality set in VIDEO QUALITY SETTINGS) without transferring to your PSP. The encoded video is output to the same folder as the source video. SIMPLE / EXPERT MODE SWITCH Press the MODE button to switch between simple mode and expert mode encoding options. In simple mode you will see a reduced set of encoding options, in expert mode you will have access to MAX Media Manager PROs full set of encoding options. ENCODING PROGRESS (not shown) Encoding progress is displayed along the bottom of the screen after you have selected a source file and clicked the CONVERT or COPY buttons. Video encoding could take several minutes on large video files.

3.b. Simple Mode

A quick and easy way to get perfectly good video onto your PSP is to use MAX Media Manager PROs video encoding capabilities in Simple Mode. In this mode you will still have access to basic encoding options such as compression quality, screen aspect and encoding type, sufficient for many encoding jobs. To understand the encoding options, see the section below on choosing the right settings, then, when you are ready, follow the steps in 3.b.ii. to create your PSP video. 3.b.i.Choosing the right settings QUALITY The quality settings affect the amount of compression MAX Media Manager PRO uses when it encodes the selected video files. Higher settings (to the right) mean sharper, smoother video but larger file sizes. Lower settings (to the left) mean less sharp, lower quality videos but smaller file sizes. Using a setting of MEDIUM or HIGH will usually produce an output file of good quality for a reasonable file size. Results will vary from video to video based on the amount and type of movement in the source video so experiment with different settings to find ones that work best. SCREEN SIZE This control sets the aspect ratio of your output file. Try to use a setting that suits the aspect of the source file you are using. For instance, if you know that the source file was a widescreen DVD, choose widescreen to create an output file in the widescreen aspect. The PSPs screen is particularly suited to this setting. Alternatively, if you are converting a video recorded from a normal aspect TV program, choose the TV setting to produce a video that maintains these dimensions. For more control over how the original movie is cropped to create the output aspect you choose, switch to the Expert Mode tab. ENCODING

Choose between MPG4 and AVC encoding mode. AVC is the new format that SONY recommend but it does require you to be running v2.0 or higher of its browser software on your PSP. If you want to playback video on an older version of the browser, choose MPG4 encoding. 3.b.ii. Encoding and copying to your PSP To create your first PSP ready video file from a video file you already have on your PC, follow these steps (see section 3.e. for information on what types of video make suitable source files): 1. Click the ADD MEDIA button to browse for a video file to add. You can only add videos file formats listed in section 3.e. 2. Click on the video file in the PC Media Library window and then choose a Quality Setting. For a guide to how quality settings correspond to File sizes see below: Q Setting 5 MB/min 0.77 1.07 1.76 3.32 3.85 30min video 23.1Mb 32.1Mb 52.8Mb 99.6Mb 115.5Mb
Sample video: Typical action film.
3. Use the Screen Size selector and choose an aspect ratio (start by matching the source file) 4. Use the Encoding selector and pick an encoding type. Use AVC unless you are using a version of the PSP browser older than v2.0. 5. To encode the video and transfer it directly to the PSP, click the ENCODE / COPY button. If you would like to encode the video but not transfer it immediately to the PSP click the CONVERT button (this will create a copy in the same folder as the source movie and list the new outputted file in your PC Media Library). Videos that have been converted can be transferred to the PSP at any time (no further encoding will be required). Once a video has been transferred to your PSP, view it by exiting USB MODE on your console and then scrolling across to VIDEO on your PSPs main menu and pressing X to play on the new file.

3.c. Expert Mode

When you click the MODE button on the VIDEO or DVD VIDEO tab you switch between Simple Mode and Expert Mode. When in Expert Mode you will see a new set of sub-tabs appear in the middle of the screen with additional encoding settings available. The options of each of these tabs are discussed below.
3.c.i. Quality Settings Tab (QUALITY)
Options on this tab affect the quality of the video and audio channels of the output video file. ENCODING
Choose between SONYs new AVC format or the original standard MPG4 format for the output video. See section 3.b.i. for information regarding these two formats. FRAMERATE Choose between 15fps (frames per second) and 30fps. 30fps will produce much smoother video but will produce significantly larger files than those encoded at 15fps. VIDEO BITRATE Use the slider to specify how much bandwidth will be used for the video channel in the file outputted. Use a higher bitrate when you have ample storage capacity and desire high quality video SOUND Choose between Stereo and Mono sound. Where the sound coming from both channels is predominantly the same, choosing Mono over Stereo will have little impact on reducing the size of the outputted file. AUDIO BITRATE Use the slider to specify how much bandwidth will be used for the audio channel in the file outputted. Use a higher audio bitrate setting where the quality of the audio is a priority (music videos for instance).

Fit to free Memory Stick space This is a particularly useful option if you already have files on your memory card but would like the encoded video file to fill the remaining space. If you select this option and then click Auto Detect, MAX Media Manager PRO will tell you exactly which settings it will use and also give you an estimated file size for the encoded video file. When you have made a selection, choose Keep Settings to set Max Media Manager PRO to use these settings or press cancel to use your own encoding settings.

3.c.iv. Time Tab (TIME)

Use the Time tab if you would like to encode only part of the source movie, for instance if you would like to crop the credits from the start or end. Use the up and down arrows for Start Time and End Time to control Hours, Minutes, Seconds and even Frames. MAX Media Manager PRO will show you the total length of your output file after your changes.
3.d. DVD Ripping Specific Information
If you would like to generate a PSP compatible video directly from a DVD, first ensure that the DVD is not CSS protected (the law prevents us from allowing you to RIP DVD video to a file, even if you own the DVD, if it is protected using CSS). If the DVD isnt protected then insert it into your DVD drive and click on the RIP DVD tab. On the tab, you might find that the DVD has been automatically detected (you will see the files listed in the left hand window), otherwise, click the browse button above the window to choose your DVD drive manually. After doing this, you may need to click refresh for the DVD contents to be displayed. 3.d.i. Choosing the right files When DVD has been read in, you will see a list of the video files on the disc displayed in the left hand window. MAX Media Manager PRO will try to understand the disc and automatically select the parts of the disc containing the actual feature film (not the menus) however, you can also select which files to encode manually. Alongside the filenames (Video1, Video 2 etc) you will see the durations of the videos on the disc displayed. Use these to identify the sections of the DVD you wish to convert. For example, most DVDs will include a number of menu files (which will appear in the list as very short videos), typically, you would choose to not convert those, leaving you with 1-4 large files selected. When you have made you section of source files, use the Simple Mode or Expert Mode encoding options to create the perfect PSP video file for your needs (see earlier in this chapter).

NOTE: When MAX Media Manager PRO encounters multiple files for encoding from a DVD it will automatically stitch the movie files back together to create one continuous output file.
3.e. Suitable Source Media
The following types of video file are accepted source media for the Max Media Manager software: AVI MPG / MPEG VOB (DVD) WMV MOV MPE 3GP MP4
We are always looking to expand our support for new file types, ensure you have the latest version of the software for the maximum support.

3.f. Batch List Encoding

If you have a large number of files that you would like encode and copy to your PSP then MAX Media Manage PRO includes a Batch List mode where you can add encoding jobs to a list (rather than encode immediately) ready for you to execute when you are ready (like when you are not using your PC). To create batch jobs, use MAX Media Manager PRO in the normal way but set the sub tab on the VIDEO or DVD VIDEO tab to BATCH LIST rather than PSP. In this mode, when you click the COPY / ENCODE button, the job, with all its parameters will be added to the batch list window awaiting execution. When you have built up your batch list and would like to begin encoding, click the EXECUTE button below the batch list. MAX Media Manager PRO will now encode all the jobs in the list, using the individual settings specified. NOTE: Batch list encoding is only available for VIDEO encoding.

4. Working with Music

4.a. Introduction and Overview
Use MAX Media Manager PRO to copy MP3s from your computer to your PSP by clicking on the AUDIO tab. If you would like to create MP3s for playback on your PSP directly from a CD, use the RIP CD tab (see section 4.d.) Because the PSP includes native support for a wide range of MP3s, when used to transfer music to your PSP MAX Media Manager PRO does not need to perform any encoding operations.
[DESIGNERS: INSERT AUDIO.EPS HERE]

4.b. Adding MP3s

Click Add new media to library to open a file browse dialogue box with allows you to search your computer for MP3 files. You can also open a My Computer window and use that to drag-and-drop files into the PC Media View from where they can be added to your PSPs Memory Stick. Highlight one or more files in the PC Media View (use CTRL+ click to highlight multiple files) and then click the Copy button to transfer them to your PSP. Keep an eye on the Capacity Meter underneath the PSP Contents window to see how much space you have free for adding MP3s to your PSP. If you want more space for MP3s try using Max Media Manager PRO to delete other files from your PSPs Memory Stick like videos, game-saves or images.

5.c. Transferring your Images
Click Add new media to library to open a file browse dialogue box which allows you to browse your computer for JPG files. You can also open a My Computer window and use that to drag-and-drop files into the PC Media View from where they can be added to your PSPs Memory Stick. Highlight one or more files in the PC Media View (use CTRL+ click to highlight multiple files) and then click the Copy button to transfer them to your PSP. Keep an eye on the Capacity Meter underneath the PSP Contents window to see how much space you have free for adding images to your PSP. If you want more space for images try deleting other files from your PSPs Memory Stick like videos, game-saves or MP3s.

c. Deleting Images

Highlight files in the PSP Contents window and click the Delete button to remove them from your PSP and free up more space for other images or files like game-saves or videos.

6. Receiving Podcasts

6.a. Introduction and Overview
MAX Media Manager PRO includes a fully featured Podcast subscription management system which allows you to subscribe to any number of Podcasts, browse recommended Podcasts and even have selected shows (audio and video) downloaded automatically and encoded ready for playback on your PSP. To get started, click on the PODCASTS tab in the top bar.
[DESIGNERS: INSERT PODCAST.EPS HERE] IDEA: If youre not already a part of the Podcast revolution, read a few primers on the Internet to get you up to speed on what Podcasts are and whos making them to get the most out of this great feature.
6.b. Subscribing to Podcasts
MAX Media Manager PRO uses the highly flexible and standardised RSS method for managing Podcast subscriptions. This means that anywhere you see a Podcast linked to with the RSS symbol, you should be able to copy that link and use it to subscribe to that Podcast using MAX Media Manager PRO. Subscribing to a Podcast means that MAX Media Manager PRO keeps a record of the location of the Podcast and gives you the option of having it automatically downloaded when new episodes become available (click on the OPTIONS button next to a subscribed Podcast and Choose Automatically download the latest episode). Click on the SUBSCRIPTIONS tab to view any Podcasts you are already subscribed to or use the ADD RSS button at the bottom of the screen to open a dialogue where you can enter the URL for the Podcast (which will often,
though not always end in.xml). Having entered the URL, click OK. MAX Media Manager PRO will now try to connect to that document to receive the information relating to the chosen Podcast. If the process is successful, you will see lots of information (and often a picture) associated with your chosen Podcast Info window.

When you first subscribe to a Podcast, MAX Media Manager PRO will automatically start downloading it and notify you when it is complete.
6.c. Copying Podcasts to your PSP
Once a Podcast has finished downloading, you will see a COPY TO PSP button shown with its information in the Podcast Info window. Click this button to have the Podcast transferred to your PSP. Keep an eye on the capacity meter to ensure you have enough free space on your PSP.
6.d. Unsubscribing to Podcasts
To unsubscribe from a Podcast, simply click the UNSUBSCRIBE button alongside its entry in the Podcast Info window. MAX Media Manager PRO will now no longer display the Podcasts information or automatically download new episodes. Note: If you have any episodes stored on your PC or PSP, they will not be deleted by unsubscribing from a Podcast. If you no longer want them, delete them in the conventional way.

7. Saves Online

8. Saves in your PC Database

8.a. Overview

8.b. Saves in your PC Database
When you first install Max Media Manager PRO you will find your PC Database empty. This will soon change as you download gamesaves from the online server (click the ONLINE tab) and use Max Media Manager PRO to copy gamesaves from your PSPs memory stick. Think of your PC Database as being your central store for all your gamesaves. When you download community gamesaves (see section 7.c.iii) or Powersaves (see section 7.b.iii) save a copy to your PC Database so you can access them another time without even going online. Also, use your PC Database as a back-up for all your important PSP gamesaves. Memory Sticks can be expensive; you can keep space free for other files by storing your lesser-used saves on your PC. See section 9.b, Copying Saves to your PC Database for instructions on how to do this.
8.c. Editing Saves in your PC Database
It is important that you keep gamesaves in your PC Database accurately named and described. This will help you identify them in the future and also make the saves a lot more useful to other users if you choose to upload them to the Community. After highlighting the gamesave you would like to edit and clicking EDIT you will see the save details dialogue. Make any modifications you would like and click UPDATE to commit your changes.
Note: You cannot make any changes to the game details or the credit.
8.d. Deleting Saves from your PC Database

Remember that there is probably plenty of space to store as many gamesaves on your PC as you want but if you are sure you would like to delete one click to highlight it and then press the DELETE button at the bottom of the screen.
8.e. Transferring Saves to your PSP
When you want to transfer a gamesave from your PC Database to your PSP console simply highlight the gamesave by clicking on it and then press the TO PSP button at the bottom of the screen. CAUTION! Transferring a gamesave from your PC Database to your PSP may overwrite a gamesave for the same game already on your PSP. Back up your existing gamesaves to your PC before hand for peace of mind.
8.f. Adding Saves To Your PC Database From Your PSP
To add gamesaves to your database from your PSP you need first to be on the PSP view tab, see section 9.b for full instructions.
8.g. Uploading A Save To The Community
8.g.i. Getting Started When youve made a gamesave that youd like to share with the community the first step is to make sure its in your PC Database. Follow the steps described in 9.b to do this. The next step is to find the save in your PC Database (click onto the PC DATABASE tab on the view tabs). Make sure that you have filled out all the relevant details for your gamesave so that other users will know exactly what your gamesave includes, where it puts them etc. If you want to modify the details do so now (see section 8.c for instructions). Next, make sure you have entered your Codejunkies.com username and password into Max Media Manager PRO on the options screen. If you have not already got a Codejunkies.com username and password go to the options screen and follow the link to the Codejunkies.com registration page. Registration is quick and free and just allows us to prevent spamming of the server.

10. Options Screen

Click the OPTIONS button on the top bar to access the options screen. You will see 4 tabs relating to settings for different aspects of the MAX Media Manager PRO product.

10.a. GENERAL

Use this tab to specify the drive letter for your PSP (if it cannot be automatically detected) and check for online updates. CURRENT VERSION The current version of your Max Media Manager PRO software is shown here. You may need this when speaking to Datel technical support. UPDATE NOW You should keep your Max Media Manager PRO software up-to-date by downloading new versions when they become available. Max Media Manager PRO should automatically notify you when new updates are available but if not you can manually check for and download updates by clicking the UPDATE NOW button. FIND PSP & DRIVE LETTER On certain PC configurations it may be necessary to tell your Max Media Manager PRO software which drive letter the PSP is on (for instance if you have another USB storage device present). If this is the case, tick the box that says DO NOT SEARCH FOR THE PSP and then choose the drive letter for the PSP in the drive letter selector. If you are not sure which drive letter your PSP is, connect your PSP to your PC (using the supplied USB lead) and enter USB Mode on the PSP. Open My Computer on your PC and look at the drives listed under Devices with Removable Storage. You should see something like Removable Drive (F). There may be more than one removable drive so exit USB Mode on your PSP and then go back in. Your PSPs drive letter will be the one that disappears and reappears when you do this.

10.b. GAMESAVES

Use this tab to enter your Codejunkies registration details (required for uploading), check your product license number and filter your gamesave content. USERNAME The username you chose when you registered on Codejunkies.com PASSWORD The password you chose when you registered on Codejunkies.com DEFAULT REGION This is where you set the default region of your Max Media Manager PRO software. Max Media Manager PRO can connect to one of 3 databases, USA, EUROPE and JAPAN. Whenever you browse Powersaves, Community saves or upload your own gamesaves you will be connected to the database you specify on this tab. If you own games from all one region, i.e. USA then you need only to set the region once. You will subsequently always be connected your chosen server. However, if you own games from different regions (for instance Japanese import games) then you should change the region setting accordingly depending upon which gamesaves you are looking for (or uploading). Choosing ALL will show you gamesaves from all the regions. If you select this option, pay attention to the region of gamesaves you intend to download to ensure they are for the same region as the game you own.

3. Working with Video

a. Introduction and Overview The Nintendo Wii will only allow playback of video files correctly named, filed and encoded to the Wii specification. MAX Media Manager PRO takes care of this process for you. MAX Media Manager PRO has two ways for you to create perfect Wii-ready video, either from a file already on your system (use the VIDEO tab) or directly from an unprotected DVD (use the DVD VIDEO tab). Since the video-encoding options for creating a Wii video from a file or DVD are the same, we will use the VIDEO tab as an example in this section. To create a video from a DVD, use the information in the section along with the additional information specific to DVD ripping discussed in section 3.d.
ADD MEDIA TO LIBRARY Click to browse for video content to prepare for playback on your Wii, or simply drag and drop it into the window. (Note: if you wish to use a DVD disc as the source for your video conversion, use the DVD VIDEO tab). PC MEDIA VIEW Adding a file or files to your PC MEDIA LIBRARY does not move or duplicate the original file(s), the PC Media Library simply lists links to files you add so that you can easily encode and copy them to your Wii. PC MEDIA CONTROLS These controls affect the media items that have been added to your Media Library list. Deleting an item removes it from your list only. The file you added to the list remains in its original location. WII MEDIA CONTROLS These controls affect the video files on your Wii SD card. Choosing to delete a file permanently deletes it from your Wiis memory card. When on the Batch List tab, use the EXCECUTE button to encode all jobs in the batch queue. ENCODING OPTIONS Changing the quality setting of the video encoder affects the size and look of your videos when played back on the Wii. Lower quality settings result in smaller file sizes (allowing you to fit more video on your memory cards) but lower visual / audio clarity. Experiment with different settings to see which suit your needs best. CONVERT & COPY Press this button after selecting a source video file and choosing your encoding settings using either the Expert Mode or Simple Mode options. The file is encoded, and transferred to your Wii SD card. NOTE: Before you use the CONVERT & Copy function, make sure the right-hand window is showing the contents of your SD card. Check the coloured bar directly under the window. If this does not reference your SD card, click the Options button and under General, you can indicate which drive letter your SD card is located at, or unclick the Do not search box to get the app to find it for you.

3.d. DVD Ripping Specific Information
If you would like to generate a Wii-compatible video directly from a DVD, first ensure the DVD is not CSS protected (the law prevents us from allowing you to RIP DVD video to a file, even if you own the DVD, if it is protected using CSS). If the DVD isnt protected, insert it into your DVD drive and click on the RIP DVD tab. On the tab, you might find the DVD has been automatically detected (you see the files listed in the left-hand window). Otherwise, click the Browse button above the window (the one with three dots on it) to choose your DVD drive manually. After doing this, you may need to click Refresh for the DVD contents to be displayed.
3.d.i. Choosing the Right Files When DVD has been read in, you see a list of the video files on the disc displayed in the left-hand window. MAX Media Manager PRO will try to understand the disc and automatically select the parts of the disc containing the actual feature film (not the menus) however, you can also select which files to encode manually. Alongside the filenames (Video 1, Video 2 etc) you see the durations of the videos on the disc displayed. Use these to identify the sections of the DVD you wish to convert. For example, most DVDs include a number of menu files (which will appear in the list as very short videos). Typically you would choose to not convert those, leaving you with 1-4 large files selected. When you have made you section of source files, use the Simple Mode or Expert Mode encoding options to create the perfect Wii video file for your needs (see earlier in this chapter). NOTE: When MAX Media Manager PRO encounters multiple files for encoding from a DVD, it will automatically stitch the movie files back together to create one continuous output file.
3.e. Suitable Source Media
The following types of video file are accepted source media for the Max Media Manager software: AVI MPG / MPEG VOB (DVD) WMV 1&2 MOV MPE 3GP MP4
We are always looking to expand our support for new file types, so ensure you have the latest version of the software for the maximum support.

3.f. Batch List Encoding

If you have a large number of files that you would like encode and copy to your SD card, MAX Media Manage PRO includes a Batch List mode where you can add encoding jobs to a list (rather than encode immediately) ready for you to execute when you are ready (like when you are not using your PC). To create batch jobs, use MAX Media Manager PRO in the normal way but set the sub tab on the VIDEO or DVD VIDEO tab to BATCH LIST rather than PSP. In this mode, when you click the CONVERT & COPY button, the job, with all its parameters will be added to the batch list window awaiting execution. When you have built up your batch list and would like to begin encoding, click the EXECUTE button below the batch list. MAX Media Manager PRO will now encode all the jobs in the list, using the individual settings specified.

NOTE: Batch list encoding is only available for VIDEO encoding.

4. Working with Music

4.a. Introduction and Overview
Use MAX Media Manager PRO to copy MP3s from your computer to your Wii by clicking on the AUDIO tab. If you would like to create MP3s for playback on your Wii directly from a CD, use the RIP CD tab (see section 4.d.) Because the Wii includes native support for a MP3s, when used to transfer music to your Wii MAX Media Manager PRO does not need to perform any encoding operations. However, MP3s can only be played back on the Wii as a background to a slideshow. More on this later. MAX Media Manager PRO for Wii does not convert files from other audio formats such as ogg vorbis or flac. Do do this, you must use a separate audio converter. For this you need an app suitable for this task such as the program All To MP3 Converter, which is downloadable from the internet.

4.b. Adding MP3s

Click Add new media to library to open a file browse dialogue box with allows you to search your computer for MP3 files. You can also open a My Computer window and use that to drag and drop files into the PC Media View from where they can be added to your Wii SD card. Highlight one or more files in the PC Media View (use CTRL+ click to highlight multiple files) and then click the Copy button to transfer them to your SD card. Keep an eye on the Capacity Meter underneath the PSP Contents window to see how much space you have free for adding MP3s to your Wii SD card. If you want more space for MP3s, try using MAX Media Manager PRO to delete other files from your card, like videos, game-saves or images.

4.c. Deleting MP3s

Highlight files in the Wii Contents window and click the Delete button to remove them from your SD card and free up more space for other MP3s or files like game-saves or videos.

4.d. Ripping CDs

If you would like to listen to tracks from a CD you own on your Wii, click on the RIP CD tab at the top of the screen. Insert your audio CD in your CD ROM drive and wait a few seconds. MAX Media Manager PRO may detect the CD automatically, if not, click the REFRESH button to index the CD. 4.d.i. CDDB Lookup MAX Media Manager PRO includes the ability to connect to a CD Database to automatically retrieve and name the tracks on your CD (this will only work on commercially available CDs, not home compilations). If you have an active Internet connection, you will see the names of the tracks on your CD alongside their track number in the main window. 4.d.ii. Selecting Tracks and Ripping Use the check boxes alongside each track to choose which tracks to convert and copy to your Wii SD card. When you are ready, choose either TO PC (to copy the track to the location on your PC specified in the FOLDERS tab of the OPTIONS menu) or TO SD to put the MP3s directly onto your card. You can also use this screen to play the tracks on your PC, or rename them before ripping; just use the respective buttons next to each track in the list. 4.d.iii. Recording Options To the right of the window displaying the CD tracks are the Recording Options, which function as follows: VBR ENCODING By checking or unchecking the box, you can turn on or off the VBR (Variable BitRate) Encoding. This option lowers the encoding rate when theres very little going on during an MP3 track, so it reduces the resulting file size with little or no drop in quality. Ripping the tracks takes a little longer when its activated, though. AUDIO SAMPLE RATE You can set the audio sample encoding rate with the slider. The higher the encoding rate, the better the MP3 sounds, but the larger the file size. DESTINATION Click here to choose or create the destination folder for when you rip your CDs to your PCs hard drive. Use the capacity meter to ensure you have sufficient space on your PSP for the tracks you wish to rip.

4.e. Playing Back your MP3s on your Wii
Because the Nintendo Wii lacks a dedicated MP3 player, the only way to play back MP3s is to use them as the background to a slideshow. Simply put the MP3s you wish to play in a folder on your SD card, and add one or more jpegs. Transfer the card to your Wii, and from the opening screen, go into Photo Channel, and watch the jpeg you put in the folder with your MP3s as a slideshow. When in Slideshow Mode, select Settings to choose the background tunes, which can be one or all of the MP3s stored in the folder with the jpeg. If you elect to play all your MP3s, it will play them in the order in which they appear in the folder. If you want to play them in a specific order, edit the file names by adding 01 to the first track you wish to hear, 02 to the second, etc.

5. Working with Images

5.a. Introduction and Overview
Your Wii is ideal for showing off your digital pictures in the comfort of your living room, so why not use your MAX Media Manager PRO to copy them from your PC to your Wii SD card? The Wii requires your images to be in JPG format (native format for most digital cameras). 5.b.

Copy Options

Before you click the COPY button, choose which (if any) of MAX Media Manager PROs re-sampling options you would like to apply to your images. These options automatically resize your images to get the best picture quality in the smallest file size (which also makes them quicker to load on the Wii). STRAIGHT COPY This will leave your original image as it is. Using this option, if the image you copy is larger than your TV screen, you can use the Wii to zoom in on the image to see additional detail. File sizes may be large using this setting, and loading times slow. COPY AND STRETCH TO 16:9 This option stretches your image so that its the same aspect ratio a widescreen television. This option avoids wasted space at the edge of the screen, but causes distortion in your images as theyre stretched to fit. COPY AND LIMIT SIZE TO 800x600 If your images are considerably bigger than your TV screen, you can use these options to reduce the size to a more appropriate level. Not only does this save space on your SD card, it also means you can display the whole image on the screen without shrinkage, making loading faster. An 800x600 ratio is ideal for small TVs. COPY AND LIMIT SIZE TO 1600x1200 As above, but a size setting of 1600x1200 for larger TV screens.

5.c. Transferring your Images
Click Add new media to library to open a file browse dialogue box which allows you to browse your computer for image files. You can also open a My Computer window and use that to drag-and-drop files into the PC Media View from where they can be added to your Wiis SD card. Highlight one or more files in the PC Media View (use CTRL+ click to highlight multiple files) and then click the Copy button to transfer them to your card. Keep an eye on the Capacity Meter underneath the Wii Contents window to see how much space you have free for adding images to your card. If you want more space for images, try deleting other files from your Wiis SD card like videos, game-saves or MP3s.

c. Deleting Images

Highlight files in the Wii Contents window and click the Delete button to remove them from your SD card and free up more space for other images or files like game-saves or videos.

6. Receiving Podcasts

6.a. Introduction and Overview
MAX Media Manager PRO includes a fully featured Podcast subscription management system which allows you to subscribe to any number of Podcasts, browse recommended Podcasts and even have selected shows (audio and video) downloaded automatically and encoded ready for playback on your Wii. To get started, click on the PODCASTS tab in the top bar.
IDEA: If youre not already a part of the Podcast revolution, read a few primers on the Internet to get you up to speed on what Podcasts are and whos making them to get the most out of this great feature.
6.b. Subscribing to Podcasts
MAX Media Manager PRO uses the highly flexible and standardised RSS method for managing Podcast subscriptions. This means that anywhere you see a Podcast linked to with the RSS symbol, you should be able to copy that link and use it to subscribe to that Podcast using MAX Media Manager PRO. Subscribing to a Podcast means that MAX Media Manager PRO keeps a record of the location of the Podcast and gives you the option of having it automatically downloaded when new episodes become available (click on the OPTIONS button next to a subscribed Podcast and Choose Automatically download the latest episode). Click on the SUBSCRIPTIONS tab to view any Podcasts you are already subscribed to or use the ADD RSS button at the bottom of the screen to open a dialogue where you can enter the URL for the Podcast (which will often, though not always, end in.xml). Having entered the URL, click OK. MAX Media Manager PRO will now try to connect to that document to receive the information relating to the chosen Podcast. If the process is successful, you see lots of information (and often a picture) associated with your chosen Podcast Info window. When you first subscribe to a Podcast, MAX Media Manager PRO will automatically start downloading it and notify you when it is complete.

6.c. Copying Podcasts to your Wii
Once a Podcast has finished downloading, you see a COPY TO WII button shown with its information in the Podcast Info window. Click this button to have the Podcast transferred to your SD card. Keep an eye on the capacity meter to ensure you have enough free space on your card. Once again, the only way to play a Podcast on your Nintendo Wii is as the background track to a slideshow. See Section 4.e Playing back your MP3s on Your Wii for more information.
6.d. Unsubscribing to Podcasts
To unsubscribe from a Podcast, simply click the UNSUBSCRIBE button alongside its entry in the Podcast Info window. MAX Media Manager PRO will now no longer display the Podcasts information or automatically download new episodes. Note: If you have any episodes stored on your PC or SD card, they will not be deleted by unsubscribing from a Podcast. If you no longer want them, delete them in the conventional way.

7. Saves Online

7.a. Introduction
As well as being the most fully featured media manager on the market, MAX Media Manager PRO is also your key to the exciting world of downloading and exchanging awesome gamesaves. When you click on the SAVES - WEB tab you are instantly connected to the Codejunkies.com server where you can browse and download POWERSAVES gamesaves created by full-time professional gamers to put you right where you want to be in all your favourite Wii games. See section 7.b. You can even download and exchange saves which would normally be tied to your console, ie. only functional on the Wii which created them! You can also check out gamesaves that have been uploaded to the Codejunkies.com community server by gamers like you. Hit the COMMUNITY sub-tab to pick up where other gamers left off or check out customised players/stats/vehicles etc. See section 7.c. After seeing what others can do by downloading saves from the Codejunkies.com community, youre going to want to join in the fun yourself, and you can! Once youve registered with Codejunkies.com (which is free and quick) you can upload and share as many gamesaves youve created as you like. See section 7.c.iv. and 7.d. Some gamesaves are tied to your console, and cannot be used on any other Wii. You can get around this by downloading a save from the CodeJunkies server which has had this restriction removed, and use it when playing the game. You can then upload this save once more, when youve explored the game further and opened more of its features. However many times you save your game when starting from a CodeJunkies modified save, it will still work on other Wiis.

7.b. Powersaves

7.b.i. What Are Powersaves? Powersaves are created exclusively by Datels team of professional gamers to give you the freedom to pick up your gaming just where and how you want in your games. Unlike saves in the Community (which are uploaded by fellow gamers), you know that the titles and descriptions of Powersaves are accurate; you can download them and play with confidence.

7.b.ii. Overview

Each save in the POWERSAVES and COMMUNITY SAVES section contains the following information: SAVE TITLE This is the name that has been given to the specific gamesave by the person who created it, followed by the file size in brackets. GAME The name of the game in question. SAVE ID A unique identifier for that particular save. BY (Community Saves only) The name of the person who created the save. LAST UPDATED The time and date when it was uploaded in its current form. RATING (Community Saves only) What others thought of a gamesave before you download it. One Star means they didnt like it, five stars means they loved it! 7.b.iii. Save Controls The controls at the foot of the screen in the SAVES WEB tab are as follows: BACK Takes you back to the previous screen. RATE IT Once you have downloaded and used a save you can go back into Max Media Manager PRO and let others know what you thought of the save by rating it. Click the RATE IT button and then choose you rating from 1 star (you didnt like it at all) to 5 stars (you loved it). DOWNLOAD
Click the download button to download the currently-highlighted gamesave to your download target(s). DOWNLOAD TARGETS (TO PC and TO SD) Alongside the download button are two checkboxes representing the two places that the highlighted gamesave can be downloaded to. To download the gamesave directly to your Wiis SD card, tick the Wii box. To download the gamesave to your PC database, tick PC. You can download to either or both locations, but you must specify at least one target location. 7.b.iv. Downloading and Using a Powersave When using Max Media Manager PRO, ensure you have an active Internet connection on your PC and that your Wiis SD card is connected to your PC. Downloading a Powersave and using it on your SC card couldnt be simpler. Having made sure youre on the POWERSAVES sub-tab on the ONLINE tab, click on the first letter of the name of the game you would like to download a gamesave for to begin searching. When the results come back, scroll down the list to find the game you are looking for. Click on the game to retrieve a list of gamesaves for that game. When the list appears, click on the Powersave you would like to download to highlight it (often there will be more than one per game). Now look to the bottom of the screen and select your download target. To put the gamesave directly onto your SD card and also save a copy in your PCs database, tick both targets and press the DOWNLOAD button. Use the BACK button at the bottom of the screen to go back to the previous browse screen.

7.c. Community

7.c.i. What Are Community Saves? Clicking on the COMMUNITY server tab sets MAX Media Manager PRO to display gamesaves that have been uploaded by fellow MAX Media Manager PRO users. If you upload a gamesave using MAX Media Manager PRO, this is where it will appear! 7.c.ii. Overview Much of the functionality for the COMMUNITY server screen is the same as the POWERSAVES tab (see earlier in this section), however, particular to this tab are: CREATED BY Because saves in the COMMUNITY have been uploaded by gamers just like yourself, when they are listed they always include a credit to the person who uploaded them. RATINGS
To help reward people who upload the best saves to the community and help users decide which saves to download a ratings system is in place for all useruploaded saves. You can rate every save on Codejunkies.com to help other MAX Media Manager PRO users decide which saves to download but remember: ONLY RATE SAVES YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AND TRIED. There is no point in rating a save that you have not tried. To rate a save (after you have downloaded and tested it), find it listed in the community and click to highlight it before clicking on the RATE IT button at the bottom of the screen. You can only rate each save once. 7.c.iii. Downloading and Using a Community Save You download and use a gamesave from the community in much the same way as you would a POWERSAVE (see section 7.b.iii) but clicking on the COMMUNITY sub-tab instead of the POWERSAVES tab before searching. When you have searched and found a gamesave you would like to download, highlight it and then choose where you would like to download it to by ticking the appropriate download targets at the bottom of the page before clicking the download button. 7.c.iv. Uploading a Save to the Community To upload a gamesave to the community server, you need to be registered with Codejunkies.com. Follow the link from the options dialogue to sign up (its quick and free). To upload a gamesave you have created, you first need the gamesave to be in your PC Database. To do this follow the instructions in section 9.b, Copying Saves to your PC Database. Once the gamesave is stored in your PC Database, correctly named and described, click on PC DATABASE tab and find the gamesave. To upload the gamesave follow the instructions in section 8.f, Uploading a Save to the Community).

7.d. My Uploads

7.d.i. What is My Uploads? My Uploads is your way to view, edit, delete and download gamesaves that you have uploaded to the server. You will only see any content if you have uploaded saves to the community (see section 8.f, Uploading a Save to the Community). If you have uploaded one or more gamesaves, you can use this sub-tab to keep your gamesaves up to date (for instance, if you keep improving a gamesave) or to edit the save name or description to make them more helpful to other users. You should also try to delete gamesaves that you have replaced or that you no longer wish to list in the community. This helps to keep the content fresh for other users and ensure that only the best saves are shared online. 7.d.ii. Overview
Much of the functionality for the COMMUNITY server screen is the same as the POWERSAVES tab (see earlier in this section), however, particular to this tab is: DATE ADDED Look at the date added to identify different versions of saves you have uploaded. DELETE Because the gamesaves shown on this tub-tab were uploaded by you, you will see a delete button at the bottom of the screen. RATINGS Use the ratings on your gamesaves to see how popular your gamesaves have been. This can help you make your gamesaves even more popular in future by enabling you to see which types of gamesaves people like the most! 7.d.iii. Deleting an Upload To delete a gamesave you have uploaded to the community, highlight the gamesave you would like to remove by clicking on it then press the delete button at the bottom of the screen. You will be asked to confirm this action before the save is actually removed.
8. Saves in your PC Database

8.a. Overview

8.b. Saves in your PC Database
When you first install MAX Media Manager PRO, you will find your PC Database empty. This soon changes as you download gamesaves from the online server (click the SAVES - WEB tab) and use MAX Media Manager PRO to copy gamesaves from your Wiis SD card. Think of your PC Database as being your central store for all your gamesaves. When you download community gamesaves (see section 7.c.iii) or Powersaves (see section 7.b.iii) save a copy to your PC Database so you can access them another time without even going online.

Also, use your PC Database as a back-up for important Wii gamesaves. Not all saves can be transferred in this way some are locked to your console and cannot be moved to an SD card. But if you own such a game, and play using one of our modified saves obtained from the Powersaves section, you can upload it to the server or send it to your friends even if youve saved your game again since downloading. See section 9.b, Copying Saves to your PC Database for instructions on how to do this.
8.c. Editing Saves in your PC Database
It is important that you keep gamesaves in your PC Database accurately named and described. This will help you identify them in the future, and also make the saves a lot more useful to other users if you choose to upload them to the Community. After highlighting the gamesave you would like to edit and clicking EDIT, you see the save details dialogue. Make any modifications you would like and click UPDATE to commit your changes. Note: You cannot make any changes to the game details or the credit.
8.d. Deleting Saves from your PC Database
Remember that there is probably plenty of space to store as many gamesaves on your PC as you want, but if you are sure you would like to delete one, click to highlight it and then press the DELETE button at the bottom of the screen.
8.e. Transferring Saves to your Wii
Important! Before a save can be transferred to the Wii console, that game must be played at least once before the console will allow the transfer to take place. If you have not played your game at least once on your console please do so before attempting following the instructions in the section. Step 1 Copy the save to your SD memory card When you want to transfer a gamesave from your PC Database to your Wii simply highlight the gamesave by clicking on it and then press the TO SD button at the bottom of the screen. This will copy the save to your SD memory card. Next you will need to delete any gamesaves you may already have for that particular game from your Wiis memory. Do this using the Step 2 Delete any existing saves Next you need to delete any gamesaves you may already have for the game you are copying the save for. If you would like to use your original save in the future please be sure to back it up to another SD memory card before following these steps: From your Wiis main menu click: Wii > Data Management > Save Data > Wii Click on the icon for the correct game and then choose Erase and then Yes to confirm.
Step 3 Copy the save from the SD card to your Wii Youre now ready to copy the new save to your Wii. Slot the SD memory card into your Wii and use your Wiis interface to copy the save to your Wii as follows: Wii > Data Management > Save Data > Wii Click on the SD Card tab and then click on the game icon for the new save and choose Copy and then YES to confirm. The Powersave is now on your Wii ready to be played!
