Its all down to compression ratio at the end of the day and compression type used
The psp uses mp4 video which is a high quality compression used mainly for mobile /portable devices i use mp4 for my Sony Mobile phone
Also with psp the screen size is much smaller so the aspect does not have to be so great in quality as it would to fit a large screen t.v.
I would guess that mini dvd is using a higher compression, than normal dvd mini dvd no doubt has a lot less extras on it to make it fit
and yes you should be able to play mini dvds on a normal player

MiniDVD
Btw, a "mini-DVD" can also be a CD with VIDEO_TS folder containing standard DVD VOB files (small though). These don't play in many DVD players, though.
MiniDVDs are just smaller. Same DVD specs to record. That means about 20mins on a disk, unless you put VCDs on it. Then they will play in that little tray circle in your standard DVD player tray. I use 'em for short DVD slideshows and DVD-A (audio) for music. Also use for my PC to boot to install XP, run diags, live XP (WinPE), etc.Tommie said:
