HOW TO WATCH THIS VIDEO ON
YOUR SONY PSP:
Get a Memory Stick for your
PSP:
Before you can load any media onto your Sony PSP, you must have
a memory stick to store the files onto. The PSP only comes with a tiny
32MB card that is only big enough to store a couple MP3s and a few photos.
If you play on watching video clips on your PSP, you will need to purchase
a larger Memory Stick Pro Duo card. These cards come in several different
sizes. Exact sizes vary depending on compression rates and quality, but
on average, you will need about 5MB for every 1 minute of video.
Format your Memory Stick
on your PSP:
Before you can use a brand new Memory Stick with your PSP, you need to
reformat it. If you don't know how to do this, here's a quick tutorial
on
MethodShop.com to guide you through the steps.
Download this video clip
and thumbnail to your computer:
Right + Click (PC, Mac) or Option + Click (Mac) to save each
of these two files to your Desktop. Joe Vs. Wade (ZIP file, 32MB)
Connect the PSP to your
computer:
If you haven't already, you need to connect your PSP to your computer with
the USB cable that it came with and put the PSP into USB mode. Press the
HOME button located on the bottom left of your PSP and then scroll left to
the SETTINGS column. Scroll down to USB CONNECTION and press X. The Memory
Stick inside your PSP will now mount on your computer.
Copy the video onto your
PSP:
In order to playback video files on your PSP, you must copy them into the proper
folder. The correct file path is MP_ROOT > 100MNV01. If you place video
files anywhere else on the Memory Stick, they will not playback properly. If
the MP_ROOT and 100MNV01 folders don't already exist on your PSP, you should
make two new folders and name MP_ROOT and 100MNV01. Just a reminder, the 100MNV01
goes inside the MP_ROOT folder.
The following two diagrams should help explain where the video files need to
go:
MEMSTICK.IND MP-ROOT
MSTK_PRO.IND
PSP
100MNV01

Watch the video on your
PSP:
Once the video file has finished coping onto your Memory Stick, you can
disconnect the PSP from your computer. Scroll over to the Video column
on your PSP and you should now see the video file. Press X to watch it.
Enjoy!
