How to Put Movies on a PSP Using Bearshare MP3

Enjoying movies while traveling or waiting around can bring excitement to an otherwise boring process. While the Sony PSP is most commonly used as a portable gaming console, the handset also boasts a host of other multimedia capabilities, including digital video playback. BearShare is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing and media management interface from which you can save video clips onto your PSP for storage or playback purposes.
