How to Import Movies on a PSP

Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld gaming system is really a jack of all trades--in addition to playing video games as expected, the little system can also hold digital pictures, music and even movies. Importing movies onto a PSP involves simply connecting the device to your computer and dragging a few files into a very specific folder. Depending on the size of the movie files you're importing, this can be done in just a few minutes.
