your PSP, it will even manage large collections,
helping you move movies on and
off your PSP’s storage card as you need space.
Download and install the app, and you’re ready to
get started. P3P Video includes tons of customization
options, but it works pretty damn well out of the box.
Click the Convert button, select One-Click Transcode,
point the app to the movie you want to transcode, and

to your PSP, and click Copy Video to PSP.Now that you’ve managed to convert a DVD movie into a Divx fi le, the hard work is done. Converting from Divx to
virtually any other format is a snap, if you have the right tools.Take Your Video on the Road
