Part 1, How to Convert DVD and Video to PSP on Mac OS X?

Blow away any previous tools and software you might have installed that you don't need and you think might conflict with getting a good conversion. Also blow away any old media files you don't need. This process is fairly heavy on resources so generally the more room you have and the less things that can get in the way, the better.

The formats PSP supports:

Video: MJPEG, ATRAC, MPEG4, MPEG4-AVC, PMP and PMP-AVC.

Audio: MP3s, WAVs, WMAs, ATRAC3+ and MP4s
