Sony Japan has announced the RDR-AX75, a home DL DVD burner with 250Gb HDD that can encode video in Mpeg-4 AVC (H.264) - a 100% PSP compatible video format.
Once the video is recorded onto the RDR-AX75's hard disk you just need to stick your Memory Stick Duo in the slot provided and transfer the video onto the memory card. Depending on the selected encoding options, you can fit between 70 minutes and 250 minutes of video onto a 1Gb Memory Stick. In order to play back the Mpeg-4 AVC content, you need to have the 2.0 firmware on your PSP.Other models are coming with much larger HDDs of up to 400Gb. At present it is unknown if these models will be available outside of Japan.
