Are you struggling to download psp movies on your psp? Downloading movies onto the psp is not difficult. Let this article help you.
The traditional way of watching movies on your psp is using the UMD disc format. UMD stands for universal media disc and is the only format for PSP.
However, a PSP UMD movie is not cheap. It cost about USD $30 for a single movie. Plus there isn't a great selection of movies to choose from. Many big name movie distributors have shunned the UMD format because of lack of sales.
So what alternatives do you have for watching PSP movies?
There are 2 alternatives available, both uses the sony memory stick to store the movies.
The first way is to rip DVD movies on your computer and then download it onto your sony memory stick.
Sony does provide DVD ripping software that allows you to rip movies into your computer which you can then transfer to the memory stick. The ripped movies are smaller and of lower quality but since you are watching on a small screen on the PSP, it does not matter much.
I would highly recommend getting a larger memory stick, preferably 1GB and above since the movies files are quite large.
One disadvantage of this method is not all DVD movies can be ripped. Some DVDs have copy protection codes particularly the newer DVD movies that prevents it from being ripped.
The second way is to join a membership to paid PSP download sites. They typically charge a one-time fee and unlimited download access.
The advantage is you do not need to do any DVD ripping plus these paid PSP download sites usually have other files such as MP3, games etc that you can download to your PSP.
I highly recommend the second method as it is a lot less hassle and it is the fastest and easiest way to download PSP movies.

Repairing Your PSP Screen
There is nothing worse than cracking your psp's screen. Sony does not cover this under warranty, and the repair will cost you over $150 US, not including shipping and taxes. The psp screen is a glass lcd and is very delicate. LCD screens are susceptible to temperature changes, and the slightest pressure on the lcd, you can easily cause it to crack. Fortunately, there are many preventative measures to keep your psp in tip top shape, and to help you avoid cracking the screen, or damaging the psp itself.
For starters;
1) Never expose the psp to extreme temperatures - no storing it in the glove box in the winter, or in the direct sunlight in the summer.
2) Never exert any pressure on the screen - try not to touch it at all, as it will only get fingerprints on it, and the oils from your skin. These oils are a little harder to remove, and often lead to actually cracking the screen from applying to much pressure while cleaning it.
3) Use extra caution when applying screen protectors - the process of applying the protector can cause a crack in the screen when you are applying pressure to adhere the protector
4) Improper storage case - some storage cases have extra compartments for games and accessories - always make sure that you are not putting any pressure on the screen while it is in the case.
Now, if you are one of the millions that have a cracked psp screen - or if you have dead pixels on the screen, you DO have some options that won't cost an arm and a leg. The psp screen itself cannot be repaired, but can be replaced. The psp lcd assembly includes the psp lcd, a metal frame, and 2 small ribbon cables. These all comprise the lcd kit itself.
Replacing the lcd kit requires some very delicate tools and a steady hand. The first rule of thumb is to take your time, and read through as much instructions as you can.
There are many tutorials and websites, however the best website is http://www.psprepair.net as they have dozens of videos that illustrate the process from start to finish. You can also purchase replacements parts from the store at [http://shop.psprepair.net]

How to Download Music to PSP
Have you been pulling your hair out trying to download music to your Sony PSP?
I am going to give you my quick and easy recipe for putting your favorite music on your PSP. There are only a few steps and it is a cinch on you know how.
1. First off you need to get what they call a cd ripper and while you are at it I would definitely grab a psp video converter. A cd ripper lets you pull music (rip) of your cd's
that you have now. The psp video converter will let you rip and convert video files to watch on your PSP...so you can watch and listen to music videos and music, cool heh!
2. Load your cd and fire up your cd ripper select the song or songs you want to put on your PSP and hit the "extract and encode" to PSP.
3. If you already have music files on your pc then all you need to do is hit "add" from your cd ripper or psp video converter.
4. Make sure on all of the above you select the "PSP" format.
5. How to download or transfer your music to PSP? Just connect your PSP with your PC with the USB cable, and copy your mp3 file(s) into "H:PSPMUSIC" where H: would equal the drive of your PSP.
That's it. It is real simple to put music on your PSP!
