I use Smartmovie and it works well, you can download the trial at handago.

Videos encoded for PSP are usually 320x240 @ 25+ fps, 250k bit rate. The P910a's processor simply can't handle these parameters... they're just way too high quality for that model of phone. You'll have to transcode the videos to match the phone's hardware. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but they were something close to 192 x 168 @ 10fps, 128k bit rate. I normally use VirtualDub with Apple Quicktime Pro to perform my video conversions for the P910a.

You might have to contact the authors of Smartmovie to see if they have a solution for their product crashes. What kind of PC do you have? I transcode with a dinky 2.5ghz P4. Apple Quicktime Pro does a fine job at creating MP4 files my P910a can easily play, so long as I tone down the numbers to 192x168 resolution (I use virtualdub for video resize), around 150k bps, and 22.5k mp3 stereo sound.
