How to Put Video on PSP

You have purchased your PSP and the games are great, the sound is great but now you want to know how to put video on the PSP. You will be pleased to know that your psp is a multi functional little machine that is as versatile as the swiss army knife when it comes to multi-media, you just need to know how to do use it.

To put video onto PSP you will need to mess with the file system on your memory stick. The first thing you need to do is put MPEG-4 video files into a folder that doesn't yet exist on your memory stick. You will need to create a new folder in the root of the memory stick, call it 'MP_ROOT', it needs to be called this so don't be tempted to name it after yourself. In this folder create another folder called '100MNV01', again there is no need for dedications here the folder must be called that! Place all you MP4 files in this folder.

On your computer you will need a piece of software that will convert the files to the MP4 format that your beloved psp will recognize and be able to use. Most of the available converter packages will allow you to drag and drop the files to be converted into their blank window. All your files will be converted to QVGA resolution and you can set the quality level that you feel will be acceptable. Note that the converter will likely rename the converted file so you must take a note of what it has decided to call it.

Plug one end of the USB cable into the PSP and the other end into your computer and prepare yourself for a transfer. Alternatively you could insert memory stick in the slot on your laptop. Your MP4 files should now be copied into the folder we created on the memory card earlier.

Obviously you will now be wanting to play your video on your PSP. Its simple, scroll over to video and open the folder you have just copied the file to, your video files should be listed and waiting to be played, press 'O' and your video will start to play right there on your PSP screen. You now have the knowledge to put video on the PSP however it should also be noted that you must stick to the resolution suggested above, the PSP will not play anything other than this resolution.

Your PSP can be heavily modified but they can be fragile little gadgets if you don't treat them right and you must seek professional guidance and advice before you start to modify it. There are some great resource sites on the internet and with a little searching you can always find what you need.
