    Thumbs Up What is the difference between Custom UMD Movies and Original UMD Movies


    What is the difference between Custom UMD Movies and Original UMD Movies?

    Best Answer By QRO

    An original UMD movie is made by the studio that owns the right to the movie and is commercially released on a physical UMD disk. You can/could find them in shops that sell PSP software.

    A custom UMD movie is made by an inspired enthousiast on a home computer using the same software the studios use (though an older version), however with less CPU power. A custom
    UMD comes in the shape of an .ISO file and can only be played if your PSP has been installed with Custom Firmware (CFW).

    Quality wise there isn't a lot of difference anymore between Original and Custom UMD movies.
    There are custom UMDs that have higher quality than original UMDs. Both come fitted with a menu, often multiple (selectable) subtitles and/or audio tracks, and sometimes some bonus material.

    There aren't a lot of original UMDs produced anymore nowadays, so most recent movies you won't find in shops anymore.
    However there's Custom UMDs to fill that gap as they keep on being made as long as there are encoders willing to do so.

    Hi, I have a psp with custom firmware 5.00 m33-6. I downloaded one of you umd iso files, (on a different Forum), but I can't seem to play it. I select the iso in the vsh menu but I don't have a umd disc, is that the problem?

    yes you need a UMD Disc (Game or Movie) In order to use Customs in that Firmware

    Using PRO CFW Eliminates The need for a Disc so I suggest you Upgrade to it

    yeah I know, but I haven't done any custom update in a VERY long time, so I'm scared that I'll brick my psp, and I don't know whether that CF is any good

    It all depends on the PSP model you have...

    But since you have M33 CFW I Know You have a 1k or early 2k Model...

    Instead of buying a UMD...I would go Buy a Pandora Set just for safety Measures...

    PRO CFW is the Best CFW there is as of the Time of this post & the one I use Myself

    also there is a guide on how to hack any PSP Model using the PRO CFW Here

    I see, and yes it is a 2000 model. Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it, another option for me is to borrow an old umd from a friend:P, but I'll look into the PRO CFW. Thanks!

    Yes a umd disc is needed to watch any umd movie iso/backup it doesnt matter wether its a music/game/movie/demo umd disc. As for the pro cfw eliminating the need for a umd i didnt know that, im running a phat on 5.50gen-d3 i havent had the need to take cfw any higher hence why i didnt know bout the pro cfw .
