How to Build up your PSP Movie Library Without Spending a Fortune




Universal Media Disks (UMD)

I am sure you already know you can watch movies on your PSP.  Maybe you’ve even purchased some of those funny looking UMD disks that Sony came out with exclusively for the PSP movie.  While it is nice that you have made this investment, it's expensive and extremely limiting.   Since the UMD disks are read only, you can’t record anything on to them.  This means you can only watch movies made by Sony.  The selection wasn’t very large to begin with considering they only contained Sony releases but now that some of the major studios have stopped releasing movies in this format, the selection is really limited.

DVDs and Downloads

If you own DVDs and would like to have them on your PSP, you can do this at little or no cost.  In order to get your DVD to become a PSP movie, you will first need a “DVD ripper”  If you search for them online you can find these for free.  Then all you need is video conversion software, which you can also get for free online.  Within a relatively short period of time you can have as many DVDs as you want to watch on your PSP.

There are other ways to build up your PSP movie library also.  There are numerous sites online that offer either free or they may charge a modest fee to download not only movies, but television shows, documentaries, amateur video and any other kind of video you can think of.  Just by looking around at possible PSP movie downloads, I came across a dog riding a bicycle in Japan, a documentary about 9/11 and the Dick Van Dyke show.  All except the latter could be downloaded for free and only a modest charge applied for the Dick Van Dyke show.

Home Movies?

If you really want to get creative you can put your home movies on your PSP.  If you are like me you have a lot of home movies.  For this reason it is important to remember that you don’t have to keep anything on your PSP any longer than you want to.  In fact, it will get quite expensive if you keep everything you are likely to download.  The good news about downloading a PSP movie is that you can store it on your PC until you are ready for it and then transfer it to your PSP.

Once you become comfortable with downloading and converting PSP movie files, you will be able to easily exchange files between your memory card and your PC.  After a short while it will become second nature to you - like tieing your shoes.    You will just choose what you want to have on your PSP at any given time and keep the rest on your PC or if it’s not something you want to keep, dump it altogether.  Before long, you’ll have the biggest and the best PSP movie library in town.
