Adding MP4 Videos to PSP
Spice up your PSP
Most people might be asking, what is an MP4? Last time you checked there were only MP3s and you considered them as the latest form of music technology. Well, for the people who are a tad bit behind with technology, an MP4 or MPEG 4 is a media format that was developed by Apple. Mp4 has the capacity to convert larger files into a smaller file size, which allows them to be transferred to several different devices. Some of those devices include mobile phones, psp, and even ipods (this list is not exhaustive). This conversion can take place whether you are dealing with still photos, audio, live t.v., videos and so forth.
It is simply remarkable how the technical world around us has changed and has now brought us a tool that can transform a large file into one that is so small, that you can take it anywhere with you. The best part is that you don’t need apple devices for anything to work. It is compatible with all sorts of contraptions.
Now, the purpose of this article is to learn how to transfer these files to your PSP. Although this might sound difficult initially, it can be easy if you pay attention and focus on the information at hand. If you mess up, just try it again, and you should be able to get it right the second time.
The first thing you need to do is ensure that you have enough memory to store your files. Many people give up trying when they can’t get anything to transfer, but they don’t realize you need sufficient memory to transfer your files. Unfortunately, Sony has not included a feature on the PSP that automatically deletes files for you, so you will have to undertake this task by yourself. So the first step is make some space available if need be.
The second thing is securely attach your PSP to your computer or laptop. This is achievable by utilizing your USB adaptor or memory stick.
After that is done, go ahead and make a brand new folder, label it “MP_ROOT.” In this folder create a sub folder named “100MNV01.″
Next you will need to copy the MP4 video inside the sup folder and name the MP4 file MP4V#####.mp4 (the “#” is any 5 digit number. an example could be <4V56789.MP4.
Once that is done, disconnect your PSP from the USB or memory stick. The video should now be on your PSP and ready to playback.
Well, there you go, that’s all of it. The fast, easy, and sufficient way to save and transfer your MP4 files to your PSP for easy and fast playback. If the video does not work, go online and look up .THM file. However, this should work out just fine for you. It does not take a computer genius to transfer the files, despite what anyone may say.
I hate to break it to you but the MP4 video codec was not at all invented by Apple.
