PSP Help Bible

First things first is the PSP

I chose the PSP because it is my fav portable device (Even more than my ipod O_o).

In the beginning I had a lot of questions about how to put videos, music, and later how to put games on my psp.

Let's start with video if you are going to put any videos on your psp your gonna want to have a memory stick:




I would suggest this type of mem stick, but it does not have to be this size. You can get a 1 or 2 GB stick to start with.

Next:

you will need to put your mem stick into the psp and then connect your psp to your computer via USB cord (the cord should've came with the psp). You can also connect your psp via wi-fi, but I will leave that for another post. It does not matter it you connect the psp when it is on or off. With your psp on, click over to settings (which is all the way to the left) and click down to USB connection. Your computer might then have something pop up to the screen; If not that is OK. Now your psp is ready to recieve videos.

At this point I would suggest downloading Videora PSP converter from download.com

The reason is because most of the vidoes your going to want to download are not going to be in the correct format to play on the PSP

*NOTE*
If you download a video and it shows up as corrupt on the psp most likely it is not in the correct format or in the right folder. This is off topic let's continue.

What I love about Videora is that you can chose the settings that you want, but it is also very easy to use. You can choose great quality or low quality and it let's you choose the size you want too. I download it form download.com because they are a highly trusted site and they will mostly have they lastest version of the program.

*Note* if your psp is not fully charged you might want to plug it into the charger

Next:

You are gonna want open where the video on your psp needs to go. The best way to do is to just right-click the start button(down in the bottom left corner and click "explore" you should see your psp in the one of the removable drives. double click it and the file from your psp should pop up.

When you first see the file of your psp you will probably see file names such as: MP_ROOT, PSP, MUSIC, VIDEO, PICTURE, ETC. They VIDEO folder is where you are going to want to put the video that you want on your psp. open the folder containing the video you want on your psp and drag it into the VIDEO folder on your psp (You can also right-click the video and click copy and right click inside the VIDEO folder and click paste).

*NOTE* If you have an older version psp (LIKE ME :()) you might want to place the video in the 100MNV01 folder located in the MP_ROOT folder. IF you do not have a VIDEO located on your psp you can always create one by right clicking cliking new and then folder name it VIDEO.

*NOTE* If you use Videora PSP it the program will actually put the video on the psp for you with click of a button

Well that's all for my first. I know it wasn't very exciting but I asure you as I post more I will get more indepth into the capabilities of the psp such as:

• putting custom firmware on psp
  
• changing the intro video of your psp
  
• streaming video from your computer to your psp
  
• and much much more
