Unlimited PSP downloads at online stores allow you to create a private stash of PSP movies with a convenience that was impossible just a few years ago. If you have just bought a new PSP or you have been using it mainly for gaming and you have no idea how to download movies and watch them from your PSP, here are the simple steps to download PSP movies to your portable device. Towards the end of the article, I will reveal some hints on where to unlock a vault of PSP movie and music video downloads for pennies.
First of all, there are some peripherals and software that you will need to install on your PC before you can transfer movie files to your PSP. Make sure you have a USB cable ready and your PC must have a USB port. This is the list:
1. DVD-ROM or drive: This drive must be installed in your PC. This usually comes as a bundle with your PC. If your computer is an older version that only came with a CD-ROM, go to your local computer store to purchase one. Today, prices have come down quite a bit and shouldn’t cost you more than $100.
2. 512MB Pro Duo Stick: Memory space above this is even better. 512 MB is the bare minimum. The memory is intended to store the movie files in MP4 format.
3. DVD Ripper Software: This software is required to rip DVD movies. Ripping means transferring in case you don’t know what it means. Normally this comes as a package with your DVD ROM. However, if you don’t have one or want a more robust ripper, you can download some free ripping software from the internet.
4. PSP Video Converter: This software, as the name suggests, converts the raw movie files you have copied into a readable format ie MP4 which you can watch on your PSP. There are software on the market that can combine video ripping and conversion. People know them as a combination of ripper and video converter.
Now we move on to learn how to download the movies to your PSP. Note that there are a lot of things you need to prepare before you can start downloading the movie files, such as ripping, etc. Today, membership sites that provide unlimited PlayStation downloads have made mining redundant. Great, isn’t it?
Steps to download the movie files on your PSP
1. Insert the movie DVD into your DVD ROM and run your DVD ripper. Rip or rip the movie file from the DVD and save it to the folder you want.
2. Run your PSP video converter and select the movie file you just ripped and click the rip or encode icon. Finally, remember to save the file.
3. Do you remember there is DVD Ripper/Video Converter combo software? If you have one of these, steps 1 and 2 are combined into one.
4. Connect your PSP to the USB port of your PC. Next, create a folder on your memory card and name it “MP_ROOT”. Within this folder, create a subfolder or subdirectory and name it “100MNV01”. Go to the folder containing the movie files, copy and paste them into the 100MNV01 subfolder.
The download is complete and you can start watching movies on your device. This is the first step to start building your collection of music, movies, game downloads, etc. from PSP. If the above steps are tedious for you, head over to my blog where you can access unlimited downloads of movies, games, music, and just about anything cool on this planet of PSP, without messy ripping, etc. All files are in proper format, ready to view.
