Watching anime on PSP

Yesterday I saw someone in the bus watching an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist (One of the DVD versions, because of the voices/songs)! How did he do that? I'll ask him next time I see him, but I hadn't seen him before, so I don't know if I'll notice him again.

My boyfriend says to use PSP Video 9. (google for it) You can convert video types to whatever the PSP uses.

Thanks. anyone know what media type the PSP uses?

Hm, interesting; I googled PSP Video 9, and that looks pretty good. Also found a few other programs, like pqdvd and xcopy9. Wonder why they're both 9. Something about the format, or just a coincidence?

It uses MP4... I watch all kinds of anime on my PSP. I have actually been watching more on the PSP than on my PC nowadays. You'll want a 256 mem card at LEAST though... only about 3-4 25-30min episodes will fit on a 256. If you only have the 32meg card it comes with then forget about it untill you get a much bigger card. Most 25-30min episodes work out to be on average 50mb. And yes use PSPvideo9... it will change the files into MP4 and then transfer them into your PSP with the USB cable, very nice and easy.

Use the AVC version of psp video 9. Anime looks great, subtitles are completely readable even at the lower bitrate option.

That's a shame... I wish it was a little easier to deal with movies on 'em. Maybe the cards will get a little more compact over time?

Apparently, he is :P. He came in today with two PSP's, and gave one to a friend. 0.o
He says he uses the xcopy9 program because his dad already bought it, and just puts anything he likes on his PSP.

I have xcopy9 and I'm not rich. I got sick of the time and effort PSP Video 9 took and wanted something that worked better, so I researched and bought it. If got paid for the time I wasted on the free stuff I coulda paid for xcopy9 10 times over.
