Are you familiar with your PSP? Of course you know that the device is a portable gaming console that offers more than just games. The portable device can play music and play video files aside the great quality games. How to transfer movies on PSP?

I've heard some people asking this question over the internet. I don't know if these individuals are too lazy to open their PSP manuals to read or are they too afraid to explore the device on their own or are they just too confused with the technical terms used both in the manual and internet websites.

How to transfer movies on PSP? To answer that question, you basically will need a PSP, a computer, a USB cable connector and a Memory Stick Duo. This is only the preparation. Now comes the relatively technical aspect of transferring movies onto a PSP. In order for movies be played in a PSP, they should be converted into a PSP movie format or an .MP4 file.

This is the only extension that a PSP could play. Which brings us to the next step: converting whatever movie format you have into a PSP movie file or .MP4 format. Fortunately, there is a lot of software or applications out there that are capable of converting video files from one format to another. Aside from the regular file conversion applications, there are already PSP video converters available over the internet which can easily convert popular videos like DVD, VCD, SVCD, MOV, RM, MPEG, WMV, 3GP, AVI to PSP video format or the H.264/MPEG-4 format. After you have converted the movie files, it's just a matter of placing them into the memory storage of the PSP.

You will need to connect the PSP to a PC or Mac first, of course, and run the PSP video manager which is located in the "Tool" menu.

The system will automatically detect "C:Temp." The PSP files in this folder will be shown on the left side while files on the PSP will be shown on the right. The PSP is identified by the system as a "Removable Disk". Now, highlight the file which you want to put into the PSP and then click "Copy" and wait until the transfer has been completed.
