Psp I want to watch movies , when I download the movie and it a avi file it will not play. What am I doing wrong. Please help me.

Hi there.

PSP's play MPEG-4 type video files (mp4's) if you have movies you want to watch on your psp you will need to download a program to convert them into the mp4 format, then copy them to a s.d. card and watch them on your psp.

Or you can join Sites that sell movies online in mp4 format ready for you to watch.

I do not endorse illegal downloading.

Try downloading VLC media player or GOM player.They are free.
You can also try installing either k lite mega codec pack (free) or All-in -One Codec packs.Is it just a problem with this movie??Do you have problems playing other avi files??

Hi,
In order to transfer movies to a PSP you would need a computer, a USB cable connector and a Memory Stick Duo. In order for movies be played in a PSP, they should be converted into a PSP movie format or an .MP4 file as this is the only extension that a PSP could play.
Next step would be to converting movie format you have into a PSP movie file or .MP4 format. Fortunately, there is a lot of software or applications out there that are capable of converting video files from one format to another. Aside from the regular file conversion applications, there are already PSP video converters available over the internet which can easily convert popular videos like DVD, VCD, SVCD, MOV, RM, MPEG, WMV, 3GP, AVI to PSP video format or the H.264/MPEG-4 format. After you have converted the movie files, it's just a matter of placing them into the memory storage of the PSP.
You will need to connect the PSP to a PC or Mac first, of course, and run the PSP video manager which is located in the "Tool" menu.
The system will automatically detect "C:Temp." The PSP files in this folder will be shown on the left side while files on the PSP will be shown on the right. The PSP is identified by the system as a "Removable Disk". Now, highlight the file which you want to put into the PSP and then click "Copy" and wait until the transfer has been completed.

Hi. The PSP only plays a limited number of video formats; I think off hand MP4 is one. It will not play AVI formatted files, the most common type on PC for downloading.Check the file type of the movie you are trying to watch, by right-clicking on the file on your PC then selecting 'properties'. It should say there. Also holding the cursor over the file for a few seconds should show you the file info. I am unsure how to convert between video formats, you might be able to download something online that will do that for you.

your psp will only play these movie file extension.

memory stick video format
MPEG-4
MP4
AVI

there are few others that i can't think of right now. so try getting a movie with one of these extension and it should work fine

download VLC player, it is free, plays all movies

You can do the other stuff just AVI files work best I think. You can either convert the iso file to AVI or mpeg4 if it will let you or you can download the avis through file sharing.
