If you’re lucky enough to own a sony PSP, you’re probably very excited about all the different things it can do. Unfortunately, watching movies is not one of the simpler things to do with a PSP, and it seems that many people have no idea how it’s done. I’ve put together a few quick steps here, so hopefully once you’ve read this you’ll know exactly how to put videos on PSP.

Essentials-Memory Stick- you need at least 500mb free to do this, but the more the better really. These things are really much cheaper than they used to be, so check Ebay or Amazon to find a good deal. You?ll also need to be near a computer with an internet connection and a USB cable that you can connect the computer to the PSP with.

Step 1 - Turn it off

Switch the PSP off, and use the USB cable to connect the PSP to the computer. Once connected, switch the PSP on.

Step 2 - Link to the computer

Go into the settings menu on the psp, and hit X. This should make the computer link to the PSP and vice versa. Once it’s done, go to the computer and open My Computer-you should see that there is a new volume there, much in the same way that an external HD is added or a flash drive.

Step 3 - Make a folder

Go into the PSP Memory Stick and open the folder named PSP. Once it’s open, create another folder inside it. It’s very important to get the name correct ‘MP_ROOT’ and then create an additional folder called ‘100mnv01’

Step 4 - Save movies

You will need to save any movies you want to watch in the folder you created named ‘100mnv01’. Once they are saved there, you can start to watch them by clicking on the image inside the Memory Stick. It’s important to note that you will need the movies in MP4 format, and you can find plenty of software around to perform the conversion if you need to.

Didn’t I tell you it was simple when you knew how? There it is, that?s exactly how to put videos on PSP.
