No bars on the left or right side, and only black bars at top and bottom if needed. The PSP scales it down successfully to 480x* and the letterbox bars are perfect... I don't have to change the zoom or screenmode or anything on the PSP or PC it works straight away...

Then I don't get your problem...

So what's the difference between the above two?  If you've got a compressed video, there's no magical way to remove the artifacts whilst converting to another format.

Good luck!
