The Sony PSP is among the best portable gaming platforms available today. But it is not only capable of providing video game entertainment. Its wide screen is very suitable for playing movies and allows you to play audio with exceptional quality. There are some apps that can turn your PSP into a movie player and camera.

For movie playback:

ImTOO DVD to PSP Suite is a very versatile DVD to PSP movie changer, and it is extremely easy to use. This software converts a ton of formats, easily. It will help you finish converting all your movies with great efficiency and speed.

Xilisoft PSP Video Converter can convert a large number of popular video files like DVD, VCD RM, MPEG, 3GP, AVI to PSP video format without much effort on your part. The app allows you to change the video resolution.

It plays movies in MP4 format, just like the iPhone. Developers are always trying to find ways to make this task less of a hassle, right now you are required to get at least a handful of pieces of software to change the movie conversion. One is Decrypter, to extract movies from your DVD%u2019 and store them in VOB format files, and you will also need a 3GP converter, a free to use application that changes video files to MP4. You may have more success with smaller videos and files that are already in the AVI format. Sony itself recently released conversion software, but it can’t rip your DVD movies. The 3GP program even allows you to select a different language.

These types of software make the PSP so much more than it can be (and it’s already a really good gaming device).
