The new Sony PSP is a great little gadget that comes packed with some very cool features, especially if talking about its video capabilities. But before you start planning which movie to watch with your new PSP there are a few facts that you have to take into consideration beforehand. The first dilemma is that in order to watch a movie on the PSP you have to previously convert your digital files into a format that it understands. Second predicament, the 32MB memory card that comes standard with the PSP is very small and can only hold a very small amount of data. For watching complete movies you will need to purchase something larger like a Memory Stick Pro Duo card which can hold a lot more data. Don't forget that before you can start using the new Memory Stick you will need to reformat it first. With these small problems in mind I will teach you how to put a movie on your PSP, just follow the steps listed bellow.

The first thing you'll have to do in order to watch a movie on your PSP will be to get some sort of application that can convert regular PC video files into PSP video files. There are a few free solutions out there but one of the best is the PSP Video 9 conversion and management application. This program can convert regular PC video files like avi, mpeg and wma into PSP video files, as well as transfer these video files to your PSP. After you have finished using PSP Video 9 to convert your video files the next step is to transfer them from your computer into the PSP. To do this you will need to use a USB cable. Once you have connected the two, surf to the correct folder in the PSP and create a directory named "MP_ROOT". Now create another folder within this folder called "100MNV01". Once you have done this all you need to do is move your PSP video files (MP4) into the folder you just created. Next turn on your PSP, navigate to the folder in the memory stick, watch the video and have fun.

There is also a way in which you can watch your purchased DVD's on the PSP, but you will need some sort of ripper software. After you get the ripper application use it to rip the files from the DVD into your computer and covert them to some video format. From here you can follow the same steps has before to convert the video files to MP4 format.

As you can see putting movies files on your PSP is very simple, all you need to do is use the right tools. Please remember that in some cases ripping video content from CD's or DVD's is against the law and can represent copyright infringement, even if you have bough an original copy. I hope that you have found this information informative and helpful, now go enjoy your PSP videos.
