How to Save Videos on a Memory Stick With a PS3

The Playstation 3 game console is Sony's third entry into the home console video game market. The system allows users to play high definition games, watch movies and view photos using the system's various media applications. Some users, however, wish to place their movie files onto a Memory Stick Pro Duo so that they may watch them on their PSP handheld device. Luckily, saving video files onto a Memory Stick Pro Duo from your PS3 is an easy process that only requires a few simple steps.
