x264 and Xvid do not act like lavc.  Even though you're not specifying
anything, a number of options are enabled by default (as noted in the
man page).  I don't have a PSP, but as per iPod encoding, I expect
you'll at least need "nocabac", "level_idc" set pretty low (can't go
wrong with 10).  Perhaps also try "partitions=none".

And please don't top-post in the future.
