Before you can watch movie downloads on your PSP, you need to understand the folder structure, file types and naming conventions. The PSP does not play standard formats like wmv or quick time mov files. It uses MPEG-4 codecs, and its own file naming convention to complicate things a little. Once you understand these basics, you are well on the way to download any movie,music,games and more stuffs that you like on your PSP.
When the PSP was first launched it would only accept one format of movie - the MPEG-4 SP standard. With later updates however the superior AVC format (also known as H.264, or MPEG-4 Part 10) is also playable on the PSP.
MPEG-4 AAC files.
This is the default format initially used for the PSP. It is more properly known as MPEG -4 Simple Profile, or as MPEG -4 Part 2, and MPEG -4 AAC.
MPEG-4 AAC movies should be placed in the MP_ROOT100MNV01 folder and must be named with a M4V prefix followed by a random number, like this; M4V00001, M4V00002, M4V00003, etc., with an .MP4 extension.
When browsing your list of movies on your PSP, this type of file will be listed with a MPG4 tag.
MPEG-4 AVC files (Advanced Video Coding).
This format is playable on the PSP after firmware update 2.0 or later is installed. AVC files are also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, or more commonly H.264.
AVC files are of superior quality to plain vanilla MPEG-4 files, and are in fact a variant of the exact same format used for the superb UMD Video disc movies.
MPEG-4 AVC movies should be put in the MP_ROOT100ANV01 folder and must be named with a MAQ prefix followed by a 5 digit random number like this, MAQ00001,MAQ00002,MAQ00003 etc., with an .MP4 extension.
When browsing your list of movies on your PSP, this type of file will be listed with an AVC tag.
Important Notes
Using lower case will mean your PSP will not recognise the file at all.Always remember which folder to put the movie type and what naming convention to use so you must name all files using CAPS only.

What You Should Know about FREE Download Sites!
With all of the entertainment download sites out there that offer FREE movie downloads, music downloads, game downloads etc.,those tempting offers of free downloads you have to wonder, which is the best, but first and foremost one should use caution in choosing, since many of these Peer to Peer sites are free but also dangerous to the health of your computer.
Wondering Why? I'll explain below. So please read on!
Peer to Peer (P2P) Networks are basically computers on the same network with certain software sharing files for free. The problem with this, although tempting concept, is that you may also be sharing Malware, Viruses, Spyware that can damage your computer, not to mention you can get into some big trouble downloading copyrighted material.
If you do frequent p2p sites your anti-virus software should help in stopping any worms or viruses but you would still be risking your computer to infection and or damage if your settings on your are set too low. Also your file settings should be set to, "Do not share" to help keep out any bugs.
There are alternatives that are safe and legal. Membership sites offer this alternative, no worries for just a low one time fee. A good membership site also will not charge you a pay per download fee or even monthly fee just a one time fee with unlimited downloads. Yet there are many to choose from.
We have done some research for you and reviewed a number of sites that are a few of the best out there, but most of all Legal and Safe...no worries, spyware and adware free, just remember to follow the in structions I mentioned above on your settings. Just click on the link below and your there.
Tips: In your quest finding something that is right for you there are some considerations that come to mind. Download speed even from the best site is mostly dependent on your internet connection, Dialup vs. DSL vs. Highspeed Cable and on it goes. But with a good download accelerator software program most connections should work fine. Another tip would be your hard drive space, meaning the room needed to store all your favorite movies, music, and whatever else. That can be cured by burning copies onto the media of your choice CD, DVD, External HD and deleting the original off the drive or install a hard drive with more space.
Sincerely J.D.
