PSP UMD Movies...

I'm often asked about UMD movies and there are important facts you must remember

  1. The ISO file support on the PSP is NOT for DVD or CD ISO only for Sony PSP UMD ISO. These are ISO files made as backups of UMD movie disks
  2. If you want to play a DVD movie, AVI, DivX, Xvid, Mov or MPEG file on a PSP, convert the files using a video converter program such as Video 9 http://www.pspvideo9.com/
  3. UMD ISO files are usually 1.5Gigabtye in size. If you have a 4gig file or a 9gig file you have a DVD Video ISO
  4. You MUST have a UMD disk in the PSP to play a movie ISO
  5. Some UMD ISO files require the region code to be set correctly. e.g a UMD ISO from a American disk needs the PSP to be set up for USA playback. To set the region code:
    1. Turn off the PSP by sliding the power switch up AND holding it up for 5 seconds
    2. Turn on the PSP WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE RIGHT TRIGGER (the transparent button on the top right of the PSP!)
    3. The PSP will boot into recovery mode. You can let go of the right trigger now.
    4. In the configuration menu, select region code and select the country the UMD iso is locked to
    5. Exit the config menu, and exit the recovery console, the PSP will reboot automatically
  6. You MUST copy the ISO of the movie into the \ISO\VIDEO\directory
  7. Hold down the SELECT key for 4 seconds, when you release it the M33 special menu appear, select the Video ISO option, the press left and right, the name of the ISO files in the video directory will appear, select the movie you want to watch, select exit, Under UMD a new UMD move ICON wil appear select this to watch your movie
  8. CSO are not support for Video only for game disks.
