How to Download Movie to PSP Memory Stick

In addition to playing the hundreds of video game titles available for the system, the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) can also connect to your computer and act as a flash drive for file storage. The system itself comes with a USB link cable for computer connectivity. Once the device is connected to your computer, its internal memory stick will be recognized by your operating system and can be used for storing files--even movies downloaded off the Internet. If your movie is in .AVI or .MP4 video format it will even be playable on the PSP's screen.

  Open the "My Computer" icon on your desktop.

  Look for the folder that represents your PSP. It will appear under the "Drives and Storage" heading, and will have a drive letter assigned to it in the same way that your hard drive or CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive does. Double click on this to enter.

  Drag the downloaded movie you want to store on your PSP memory stick into this folder. A dialog box will appear onscreen indicating that it is now being copied over to your PSP's memory stick via the USB link cable. Depending on the size of the file, this could take a few seconds or a few minutes. The dialog box will disappear when the file copy is completely.

  Remove the USB link cable from your PSP and your computer. The downloaded movie is now stored savely on your PSP's memory stick.
