Rip Movies to your PSP

Sony PSP

You can rip your DVD collection to your PSP in the same sort of way that you convert CDs into MP3s to put on an iPod. Actually getting video from your PC to your PSP is, however, a slightly complicated procedure.

First you'll need to use a special decrypting program to extract the video data from your DVD, and then you'll have to get it into the right file format so that your PSP can understand it.

And here's where it gets difficult, since the console refuses to recognize any video that hasn't been encoded as MPEG4 files using a very specific set of criteria. Fortunately, there are a number of applications available to help you create files that meet the PSP's strict equirements, including the commercially available X-OOM Movies on PSP.

Even better news is that there's also an extremely good freeware program, PSP Video 9, that will do the same thing for now.

For a useful guide to converting DVDs to PSP movies, have a look at this page from an unofficial Forum.
