How to Convert a Video to PSP With the Smallest File Size

Maximizing the use of your devices is difficult sometimes with all of the new products coming out, and the PSP is no different. There are so many different video file types out there, but the PSP only plays MP4 videos. These can be pretty big in size, lessening the amount that you can place onto your PSP. Getting that file to a smaller size is possible, and the quality difference is minimal.
