thanks to BeezeyBam:

1) You're going to need your video files in MPEG4 file format for the PSP to read. With the proper instructions (the PSP manual isn't much help), you'll be ripping DVDs like a pro. Start by choosing the DVD you want to rip and putting it into your computer's DVD drive.

2) Download DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0 at
www.dvddecrypter.com

3. Click the Mode tab, scroll down and select IFO.

4. Now click the Tools tab, select IFO Mode and make sure the option File Splitting is set to "None."

5. Click OK, under the Input window click the movie.

6. Now select the Stream Processing tab, enable Stream Processing, and select your video.

7. You're now ready to start ripping. Click that big DVD disc to begin the processing of ripping the DVD into a file stored on your hard drive.

8. Now with the video file on your HD, you have a variety of programs at your disposal which will help you convert the file into proper formatting for PSP viewing. Download (3GP Converter at www.xilisoft.com/video-converter.html, (iPSP)at www.kaisakura.com/iPSP/, or the new PSP Video 9 at www.pspvideo9.com will yield programs you can use to convert that ripped video file.

9. For Mac users, give iPSP a shot. And for PC users not comfortable with talk of bitrates and encoding will enjoy PSP Video 9's user-friendly interface.

10. Now connect your PSP using a USB 2.0 cable and click the "USB Connectivity" option in the PSP's main menu. This will allow you to browse the Memory Stick Duo inserted into your PSP.

11. Be careful where you place the video file on the Memory Stick. Unlike music and picture files, your video files need to be placed outside of the "PSP" folder. Create a folder called "MP_ROOT" and inside that folder create another folder named "100MNV01." That is the folder you need to copy your encoded video files to.

12. Be careful how your video files have been named. Programs like iPSP will properly name your video files automatically. Naming your MP4 files "24_Season_3.MP4" won't work. The files need to be named like this: "M4V00000.MP4"; you can change the numbers "00000" to fit your preference (like "M4V00027.MP4").

for those video gurus... so, the psp can run homebrew and yet still needs video to be converted? the xbox can run homebrew and has the fabulous xbmc, no conversion needed. not enough processing power? hm?

oh, i just installed pspvideo 9. it's asking me about firmware and such. i'm a bit new to this, so i don't wanna be messing up and this program accidentally upgrading to 3.51. am i being too paranoid? tia guys!

Dont have the app, dont know what you mean by "asking about firmware." The app is asking you to upgrade the psp's firmware?? Any firmware is capable of playing mp4 off a mem stick, so dont listen to it. You dont need to use this app if you arnt comfortable with it, use your favorite mp4 capable converter.

There's a lot that will work, I use Total Video Converter, because it supports every format I can think of except real media. XBMC plays mp4 files btw. In terms of processing power, Xbox=733Mhz, PSP=333Mhz

__________________

I did this, and then i would see the videos there, as standard icons. when i tried to play them, it would say unsupported format.

Then I took all the jpg and mp4 files generated from pspvideo 9 and put them in the video folder. the icons came up as pictures and the videos play... however pause at the end.

so, is this the way it's supposed to be done?

Post a print screen of your file syructure of both the root and while in MP_ROOT.
