PSP Question? How do you load videos onto it???

[Kevin Palmer]

Basically, my daughter has a PSP and is able to load pictures and music onto it with no problem.



She seems to be able to load the video but when it comes to play them it either says, "Unsupported Data, or "Corrupted Data".



In all cases, she is able to watch the video on our home computer so the video itself is good to go.



While I am typing this, I have figured out that in every case the video she is trying to use is from I-Tunes. That may be the issue. I have just sent to her a video from my computer to see if she can load and watch it on her PSP..

Ok, she is able to watch the video I sent her.



So, my NEW question is,,,,



Can she save or convert the I-tunes videos that she has bought to a format that will allow her to watch the videos?

You may want to have her try PSP Video 9. It can be downloaded from the internet and used to convert non-psp video to the file type the PSP can read/play.

That was one of the earlier attempts we made. It says, "Corrupt or non-supported data".



However, it will do it with other videos, (not from I-tunes).

I dont know if i understood you right ....but you might want to download or save the video on to your computer.....then you have to get a software to convert it.....then plug in your psp with a usb cable, open the folder for videos and just drag it in there.......i think this is what you were asking:unsure:

 

[Kevin Palmer]

That is pretty much what I am asking.

Thus far, no luck...

for anything other then I-tunes video try putting your videos in the VIDEO folder by using a free Converter - 3GP_Conveter - PSPVideo9



Convert the video file using either PSP Video 9 or 3GP Converter. The PSP only reads the following vido files.



MPEG4 (AAC) & H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile (CABAC) (AAC) and Baseline Profile AAC



Once the file is converted place it into the mp-root folder that has the 100 # on it, not the 101 folder.



Thing is that I-tunes has protected thier videos, so most of them if not all can not be converted with most of the free software/converters. There is a way according to the PSP forums but it's tricky, you may want to go that PSP forum at playstation.com and check around for any ideas/help.



I-Tunes video is formated as m4v files so the PSP will not read it and I seem to recall that PSP Video 9 and/or 3GP may not have this file/format support to convert it to something the PSP can read.

There's also the "ImToo PSP Video Converter" but I have never used it so don't know if it will work. I've also never used iTunes either.

... A great community for PSP stuff.



I just did a search and found that nothing can convert the DRM protected vidoes from iTunes. Saw a post with someone saying something called Tunebyte could do it but then someone else said it doesn't work.



Your best bet might be to find something to crack the DRM first (no clue if something that can do it exists though) and then convert.



Good luck.



You could alway do the old 'one frame at a time frame capture trick'.
