3. Working with Video
3.a. Introduction and Overview
Your PSP can function as a fully-fledged handheld movie player especially
when used in conjunction with a high capacity Memory Stick™ DUO (up to
1GB cards are currently available) and the included Max Media Manager
software on the PC to convert your source media into PSP friendly movie
files.
The PSP will only allow playback of video files correctly named, filed and
encoded to the PSP specification.
Having added media to your PC Media View library, when you highlight a
video file and click copy Max Media Manager will automatically convert and
encode your video files into PSP compatible video then copy them to the
Memory Stick™ in your PSP. Your movie files will automatically be renamed
during this process, necessary for them to be played on the PSP. The status
bar at the bottom of the screen will display the progress of the process which
may take several minutes when working with large video files.

Manager software:
