How to Play MP4 Files on PSP

Converting the MP4 File to the Right Format

• 1

  Download and install video conversion software. There are many free options available to accomplish this task. (See Resources for a download link to one such option, HandBrake.)

• 2

  Launch the video conversion application.

• 3

  Navigate to and select the file that you would like to convert to the PSP format.

• 4

  Configure the output file format to produce the desired video type. Many video conversion programs will have a PSP preset. In case your chosen program does not, the correct format is "MPEG-4, H.264."

• 5

  Select a location on your computer for the converted file.

• 6

  Begin the conversion process. The method for doing this will vary depending on the program but will typically be indicated by a "Start," "Encode" or "Convert" button.
