I have not tried video yet but I know for photos you need to create folders on your MS card. First create PSP than under that folder create PHOTO, I would guess that a folder called VIDEO would work for videos but I have not tried it. I'm not sure what video files the PSP will play yet, I have been to busy playing games.

yeah, i think it only plays mpeg 4, thats what it says on the box at leaste
speaking of playing ames i wonder if block buster has any to rent yet

mikebork

yes it only plays mp4 files, get psp video 9. this a freeware program that converts and copies movies to your psp through a usb connection automatically. very easy to use.

To view photos.... they have to be on card at PSP/PHOTO --- create the directory PHOTO if you have to.

i got the photo thing figured out, but now im in a quest for video im going to, try that software mike, thanks for the link, i hope it works, i will report my progress

Chris Leckness

The software works, I am writing a tutorial on it now.

i cant seem to get the software to convert ANYthing, its just stops the second after i choose a file to convert, it is annoying, any way to fix this?

Chris Leckness

What type files are you trying to convert?

It converts movies that I did for my PPC no problem, they were about 980mb .avi files and the first one I converted (AVP) is down to 563mb. I have been looking all over for 1 hb MSDUO card so I have not had a chance to check out the video quality. I did notice that the conversion is set at 320 x 240 so I am very curious to see how they will come out.

atill no luck, ive trried it on 3 computers and non of them work for me, ive changed the output directory, tve tried everything i can, it just wont convert anything for me, this makes me sad

Cool! Video playback.

I'm surprised that there's no file explorer on the PSP. That'd be really cool. Someone ought to make something like that. Since the PSP uses memory sticks, I'm surprised that no one has been able to write programs for the PSP that can be transferred via the PC.

mutant1345

okay, i see that the pspvideo9 only converts AVI files i did not realize this, the video i want to convert is not in AVI does anyone know of a free converter that goes from one format to AVI, this would be GREATLy appreciated

i wonder if discreet will make a cleaner output template compatable with the psp...they did for flash..
