I know it can be done, playing movies from Memory Stick.

I've no problem ripping DVDs - I can do that in my sleep. But what about the conversion?

I know of software called X-OOM, but from what I've read, it's pretty naff.

If I rip a DVD to my PC, does the PSP come with the necessary software to stick it on a Memory Stick and play it back?

I goty mine from Hong Kong, wasn't the wisest decision but fortunately there was no problems with the memory stick.

Nothing, unless it turns out to be faulty.

Personally, I'm always loathe to pay that sort of excessively inflated postage though.

Thanks alot.



And I don’t mean to thread high-jack but apart from the stupidly high postage what’s wrong with this.

Two (free) options: DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink.

I read a few reviews on the net, and they said it wasn't that great.

Plus, it costs £25. If you can do it with free utils from the net, what's the point? :-)

pb/Mozzy - thanks. I've already got DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter, so I should be fine moving them over. :-)

I've done some already for a friend.

I recommend DVD Clone2 or DVD Shrink to create VOB files from the film (just the film, no extras) and then using PSPVideo9 to convert them to the correct format.

Easy, but takes a while...

It doesnt 'come' with any, but theres stuff easy enough to download.

Check out PSPVideo9.

Edit: Oh and theres PSP (homebrew I think) software that allows you to play avi files, so not much conversion needed (just the size I spose) but im not sure if thats only for 1.0 and 1.5 PSPs since its homebrew.
