It is no doubt that PSP is an excellent game player. However, it is not playing games all the time; you can use it to do a ton of other cool and (highly useful) things when you're not in the game mode. Thanks to its pretty big screen compared to other portable video players, PSP is a nice gadget for watching videos as well. So the following tutorial focuses on how to rip DVD movies and TV shows, convert video files and convert online YouTube/Google videos to MP4 format for playback on Sony PSP.
The only tool you need is
Clone2Go DVD to PSP Converter. Unlike other DVD to PSP converter programs, this DVD to PSP converter combines the following main features into one program:
- Download online YouTube/Google video
- Convert downloaded YouTube/Google videos or local FLV videos to PSP
Note: Clone2Go DVD to PSP Converter is not free. It does cost USD29.95 to register the full version. And there are numerous DVD ripper and video converter programs that can convert DVD's and videos to PSP compatible video formats. However, if you want to avoid the trouble of finding so many free programs and don't mind paying a small sum of money, the all-in-one
Clone2Go DVD to PSP Converter would be the best choice for you.
First, let's take a look at the main interface of Clone2Go DVD to PSP Converter.

5. Transfer videos to PSP
Since it is very complicated to transfer videos from PC to PSP. Here, I'd like to introduce a totally freeware called
PSP Video Manager. You can download it to help you directly transfer videos to PSP or export PSP MPEG-4 videos located in your PSP to your PC without manually renaming PSP MPEG-4 files.
