How to Rename the PSP Videos

The PSP is a portable gaming console manufactured by Sony. Although the device supports playback for MPEG-4 video, the source file needs to have a specific naming convention in order to be recognized by the device. Nonetheless, some programs can override this limitation and apply custom titles to PSP videos. PSP Video 9 and PSP Video Manager are two examples of freeware that can be used to rename the media stored on the device.
