How To Copy DVD To PSP

Aside form games, music and pictures, load up your Sony Play Station Portable with movies and fully enjoy its features. The PSP has specific formats for movies and requires 320x480 video resolution, therefore using your windows media player to rip movies is not possible.

You will need a PSP video converter software. These are available online and you can download the free trial software to try it out.

The following are ways on how to copy DVD to PSP.

Before we start copying, make sure that you have the following items. One is the storage for your movie files, the 512 MB Pro Duo Stick, and on your computer is a DVD player, a DVD Ripper, and a PSP Video Converter.

If you search the internet, you can also find a DVD Ripper and Converter in one for about $30. To connect the PSP to your computer, also prepare the USB cable. For short videos that last 5 to 10 minutes, a 32 MB Card will do.

Rip the movie from a DVD and store it on your computer. You can do so once the disc is loaded by choosing the "extract" or "rip" option and save the file with the "add" button.

Select the ripped file and on the PSP video converter, choose the "extract and/or encode" button and save. Having the movie file in the correct format, you are now ready to copy it on your PSP.

Just get the USB cable attached from the computer to the PSP, and have a folder named "MP_ROOT" saved on the Memory Stick with a subfolder "100MNV01." Except for the .HTM extensions, copy the movie files to this folder.

Now access Video, then Memory Stick to watch your DVD. Once you want to replace the movie, you can just repeat the steps.
