This guide shows the process of converting video files to MP4 video to store and view on Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP). The guide is pretty simple and should be fine for new users. In this guide we will be using 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 the free trial.
Introduction & Requirements
Wondershare Video to PSP Converter - This is a 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 click here to purchase it.
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).
We 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.
