How to Download YouTube Videos Onto the PSP

While the PSP is able to download and display video content from the Internet, the lack of support for the updated Flash plug-in makes the PSP unable to play YouTube videos off the website. However, gamers can use the Sony-supported video conversion software PSP Video 9 to convert YouTube videos into a compatible file format for viewing on the PSP.
