How to Make a Video Folder for My PSP

The Sony PSP, or PlayStation Portable, is a versatile hand-held gaming device. It has the ability to not only play games but can also function as a music player, a photo viewer and even a platform on which to watch movies and videos. There are movies and shows that you can purchase, but you can also transfer your own video files to your Sony PSP memory stick for viewing. The process is slightly more complicated than just sliding in a store-bought movie but can be accomplished without too much effort.

Things You'll Need

USB mini cable

Instructions

- 1
  Connect your Sony PSP to your computer using a USB mini cable. The cables do not come standard with PSPs and may need to be purchased separately. You'll find them in the video game accessories section in stores, and they are not expensive.
- 2
  Place your Sony PSP into USB mode. This can be accomplished by going to the "settings" option on your PSP menu and then scrolling down to the "USB connection" option. Press "X" to place the PSP into USB mode.
- 3
  Locate the PSP on your computer. It will be listed as a "removable disk drive" or "removable storage" or possibly as "memory stick media." Open it, and you'll be able to view the contents of your PSP memory stick.
- 4
  Determine if you have a VIDEO folder on your memory stick. If the memory stick was formatted properly in your Sony PSP, this folder should already exist. If not, you can easily create it by right clicking on a blank area of the screen, selecting the "New" option and then clicking on the "Folder" option. Name the new folder "VIDEO" in all capital letters so that it will be recognizable to the PSP.
- 5
  Transfer any video files you wish to view into this VIDEO folder. Then, disconnect your PSP and locate and watch the videos.
