- Download your desired movie.
- The movie may in compressed in RAR or ZIP format so use the following tools for extractin stuff
corresponding format..

WinRAR – http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
WinZIP – http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

- After extracting the movie to a location convenient for you, connect your PSP through the USB Type B cord
to your computer.
- You will be presented with a few folders on your PSP memory stick, namely PSP and MP_ROOT.
-
You will need to put the movie in the MP_ROOT/100MNV01 folder of the
PSP if the name is M4Vxxxxx.MP4 and put it in the MP_ROOT/100ANV01
folder is the name is like MAQxxxxx.MP4 .

After these steps, you can browse to the video tab on your PSP and watch the movie.

Important Info regarding movies:
- Always see the movies follow the following naming convention – M4Vxxxxx.MP4 or MAQxxxxx.MP4
The naming is case sensitive and the “x” have to be replaced by random numbers if the name is not
already in that format.
- If you are sure that the name and format is correct and the movie still does’nt work on the PSP then the
movie will most probably be have to be re-encoded using PSPvideo9 – http://www.pspvideo9.com/

should not be a problem with many of the uses here but for some reason,
some people still dont know where to put the pictures on their PSP.

- Connect your PSP vi USB Type B cord to your computer.
