This guide shows the process of converting video files to MP4 video to
store and view on Sony PlayStation Portable. The guide is pretty simple
and should be fine for new users. In this guide we will be using
commercial, called Wondershare Video to PSP Converter. Before we start
there are a few things that you need to remember first.

What are the video capabilities of Wondershare Video to PSP Converter?
Wondershare Video to PSP Converter supports many popular video formats.
You can convert AVI/WMV/ASF/MOV/RM/RMVB/MPG/MPEG/ASF/DAT to PSP
compliant format (MP4). It also uses a PSP Files Manager to transfer
the files to your Memory Stick.
You can download free from here

Introduction & Requirements
Wondershare Video to PSP Converter - This is commercial software and
will display a mark on your encoded video until you register it. Make
sure you check back to the site for new versions regularly. You can
purchase from here
http://www.dvd-ripper-copy.com/buy/video-psp-purchase.html
You can connect your PSP to your computer via a USB cable now, or at
the end of the encoding process. Remember you will need enough free
space, so the standard 32MB Memory Stick will only do for a few minutes
of video (depending on the quality settings we set later).
I recommend that if you are encoding long files, you disable anything
that might clash with the process, such as Screen Savers, Scheduled
tasks like virus scans, updates etc.


Software Interface

Wondershare Video to PSP Converter has a simple and intuitive
Interface. You could say there are two main sections. At the top of the
left part, that we'll call a Tool Bar, you can import video files,
register, open the option menu & PSP files manager here. Below is the
Track list, after files load, you can see the video information here.
Next is Profiles, you can rename output files, select profiles, change
output folder here. Of course, the Start button is beside. The right
part is a Preview Window. You can preview the video here.
Wondershare Video to PSP Converter inherits the simple style of
Wondershare software. You can manage the conversion with just a few
clicks.


Adding files

Clicking the button on the upper left corner or double clicks in the
blank area to import video files. After video files loading, you can
get video information in the Track list. Additional, video would be
auto played in the preview window; you can use it just as a video
player.
You can import multi video files at one time or import them one by one,
Wondershare Video to PSP Converter support batch conversion. More over,
you can delete any video files you don't want to convert by pushing
delete button.

Setting a Profile and Destination path

There are two kinds of profile for you to select: PSP MPEG-4 Movie
(*.mp4) & PSP H.264 Movie (*.mp4). What's the difference between
these two profiles? PSP MPEG-4 Movie Provides faster conversion speed
while PSP H.264 Movie (*.mp4) has higher compress ration with smaller
conversion files.
To change a destination folder click the little icon beside. The
default destination folder is C:\Program Files\Wondershare\Video to PSP
Converter\Output\

Success

When the process completes, you might want to play back the MP4 in
something like QuickTime to check out sound sync and other things that
could cause issues. If it's fine, then go ahead and transfer the video
to your PSP using PSP files manager

Transfer video to PSP

Connect the PSP to your computer using a USB cable, and wait for the
computer to recognize it (should hear a sound, auto play might suggest
some things you can do, and a removable disk should appear in My
Computer). Now click the Tool button on the top of the main interface,
and the PSP files Manager should load.

Where you last saved your video files should automatically appear on
the left, but if it doesn't, click the Browse button and locate the
folder. Now you can simply select the video you want to transfer to
your PSP, and click
A few moments later the video will appear on the right also. It is now
on your PSP. Exist USB Mode on your PSP by pressing circle and go check
to see if your video was transferred properly. Make sure to watch it
all now to see if there are any sound sync issues.
