There is indeed a way that you can convert DVDs and videos onto your Mac, then translate them into the format needed for the Sony PSP and copy them - space permitting - onto your Memory Stick for later viewing. It's simple! Ready?

Here are two parts:

1. How to Convert DVD and Video to PSP on Mac OS X?
2. How to Transfer videos, photos, music and files from Mac to PSP for free?

Part 2, How to transfer videos, Photos, music from Mac to PSP for free?

Time Required: 2 minutes or more, depending on the number of files

Tips: 1.Video files compatible with firmware version 1.50 or higher are MPEG-4 (MP4/AVC).

2. You can view jpeg, tiff, gif, png and bmp files on a PSP with firmware version 2.00 or higher. If your machine has firmware version 1.5, you can only view jpeg files.

3. You can listen to MP3, ATRAC3plus, MP4, WAV and WMA files on a PSP with firmware version 2.60 or higher. If your machine has an older firmware version, you can't play all formats.

4. Memory Stick Duo is a better type of stick than Memory Stick Pro Duo for music files. Memory Stick Pro Duos may not recognize all music files.

What You Need:

- a PSP

- a computer

- a Memory Stick Duo or Pro Duo

- a USB cable with a Mini-B connector on one end

Here's How:

1. Insert a Memory Stick into the Memory Stick slot in the left side of the PSP. Depending on how many video files you want it to hold, you may need to get a larger one than the stick that came with your system.

2. Turn on the PSP.

3. Plug a USB cable into the back of the PSP and into your Mac. The USB cable needs to have a Mini-B connector on one end (this plugs into the PSP), and a standard USB connector on the other (this plugs into the computer).

4. Scroll to the "Settings" icon on the home menu of your PSP.

5. Find the "USB Connection" icon in the "Settings" menu. Press the X button. Your PSP will display the words "USB Mode" and your Mac will recognize it as a USB storage device.

Now, It is different to transfer videos, transfer Photos, transfer music

Transfer videos:

6. There should be a folder called "MP_ROOT" on the PSP Memory Stick if you formatted it on your PSP; if not, create one.

7. There should be a folder called "100MNV01" inside the "MP_ROOT" folder.

8. Drag and drop files into the folders just as you would save files in another folder on your computer. Video files go in the "100MNV01" folder.

Transfer photos:

6. Create a folder called "PSP" on the PSP Memory Stick (if there isn't one already) -- it shows up as "Portable Storage Device" or something similar -- (you can use Finder on a Mac).

7. Create a folder called "PHOTO" inside the "PSP" folder.

8. Drag and drop image files into the "PHOTO" folder just as you would save files in another folder on your computer.

Transfer Music:

6. Create a folder called "PSP" on the PSP Memory Stick (if there isn't one already) -- it shows up as "Portable Storage Device" or something similar -- (you can use Finder on a Mac).

7. Create a folder called "MUSIC" inside the "PSP" folder.

8. Drag and drop image files into the "MUSIC" folder just as you would save files in another folder on your computer.

9. Disconnect your PSP by first clicking on "Safely Remove Hardware" on the bottom menu bar of a Mac, or by "ejecting" the drive on the Mac (drag the icon into the trash). Then unplug the USB cable and press the circle button to return to the home menu.
