PSP WOW blog

The PSP from Sony is a wonder toy. It not only entertains you with games but it also provides you with perfect entertainment like you watch movies and videos in it, listen to your favorite music and many other things. I was shocked when I found that most of my friends who owned a PSP used it for nothing other than games. They had no idea about the free downloads that was available for their wonder toy on the internet.

Today people are soon catching up on most of the aspects of their PSP machine. And this has lead to the formation of many forums regarding the PSP. Most of the people usually try to find out how to load videos and movies onto their PSP. I think this article should help you do just this, without the help of anyone.

The memory-stick of the PSP is the first thing you need to look into before loading movies onto your PSP. A 512mb memory stick should work just fine, but I would suggest you go in for a 1Gb or 2Gb stick because many times a few videos or movies may need more space than 512mb. Sites like EBay and Amazon quite often offer good deals on memory sticks.

1. Connect the PSP device fully. Then connect it to your computer using a USB cable and this should be done with the PSP turned off. PSP’s usually come with USB cables but incase you don’t have one that is not a problem. They are quite cheap and can be easily found at a local computer store or on online stores.

2. Now turn the PSP on, look for Settings menu and press X. This would connect the PSP to the PC. Now an additional drive will appear on your PC, the PSP memory.

3. Now open the memory card on the PSP and search for a folder named PSP and inside it create a new folder named MP_ROOT. And in MP_ROOT create a folder called 100mnv01. Now to watch the movies from your PSP all you have to do id to save the file in the 100mnv01 folder. And you’re ready to watch the movie.

Now always remember that movies can only be viewed in Mp4 format on the PSP. And if they are not in the Mp4 format convert it before loading it onto your PSP, using video or movie converter softwares and they are available in plenty online. And if you are a member of any of the PSP download sites you could check for these softwares before buying them online, since these sites provide such softwares.
