How to Put Movies on a PSP 3000

The Sony PlayStation Portable 3000, the last standard PSP before the arrival of the smaller PSPgo, has the ability to transfer movies, television shows and assorted other video content onto the system's memory for future viewing. Using a Memory Stick Pro Duo, PSP owners can copy video content onto the system through direct download, or by connecting the PSP to a PC or PlayStation 3. The PSP supports unprotected video content formatted as MP4, AVI and AVC files, in addition to video content purchased from the PlayStation Store. To transfer content from the PlayStation store, you will need a free PlayStation Network (PSN) account. PSN content transferred from a PC connection will require the use of Sony's Media Go software, available for free from the Sony website.
