How to Convert Video to Be Compatible with PSP

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) only plays MP4 video files. This means that in order to play them you need to convert your videos that are not in this format using computer software. There are many programs that can do this for free or can give you a free trial so that you can at least try them out. These three programs convert your videos to MP4 efficiently and at a low cost.

Things You'll Need

PSP Video 9
Free iPod video converter
4Media video converter
PSP memory stick

  Download one of the three video converting programs; they all work in basically the same manner. Double click the downloaded file to install it onto your computer.

  Open the program you installed and click the "Add file" or "+" button to open a new window. Select the video file you want to convert and click "OK" to load it into the program.
