PSP is the classic Sony console that apart from running games, also allows you to play all kinds of videos, but unfortunately only in the native format of the console.

PSP Video 9 however allows you to convert any video format to PSP. The program has a wide variety of options that lets you select both the quality of video and sound and it includes an administrator to copy video created directly to the console. All you need is a USB cable and your PSP to transfer files to your console. However, as you'll see in the developer forum, nothing goes quite as planned with this program. Although files are transferred, frequently you won't be able to watch them which is what a lot of users are reporting. One of the problems is that files will frequently appear as 0KB and the developer suggest that it may be because your PSP memory is not "clean" enough for the program to need. What you'll need to do is reformat your entire PSP memory card which is a drastic step but seems to be the only way to get things going again.

If you've got a PSP, and want to watch movies and clips in other formats, this is an option although you may find it hit and miss.

Finally you can watch all your favourite films and videos ‘on the go’ with your Sony PSP, thanks to this free, open source video converter.

The program is still in 'beta' but it seems to work really well. The conversion process is fast, and you can tailor your final PSP-friendly mp4 file, selecting the video resolution, the video quality, the frame rate, the aspect ratio and the quality of the audio. You can also leave the settings as they are for a fast, good quality conversion. We tried with DivX and MPG files and it worked perfectly.

The improvements that could be made are mostly on the management side. It would be good to have a clearer view of the videos available on the PC and which of them have been already converted. The interface could also be a bit more pleasant without damaging its current clearness. It would be also a good idea to show the estimated time for the conversion process and a percentage indicating the status of the compression.

Be prepared to view your favourite videos on your Sony PSP with this useful, fast and free converter.

MediaCoder is one of the best video encoders/decoders in the software market, and it's now offering special versions for popular devices such as the PSP.

MediaCoder PSP Edition enables you to convert your favorite movies and shows to the video formats used in Playstation Portable, so that you can take them anywhere with you. The interface, just like the iPhone version, feels a bit overwhelming at the beginning, but the program in itself is quite easy to use. There's also an embedded PSP player that allows you to preview the video exactly as it will be viewed on your device.

On the downside, I found the program to be a bit slow at some points, for example when launching it or when opening the configuration menu. Other than that, MediaCoder PSP Edition works fine, just like its older brothers.

In spite of some minor flaws, MediaCoder PSP Edition enables you to enjoy your favorite videos on the move.
