Your collection of DVD movies may be very well chosen and extensive, but still they are somewhat limited by the medium format. You can only watch a DVD on a DVD player or on your computer. But what if you wanted to watch some of them on the move, while you commuted every day to work, for instance? In that case you shall have to think of ways of encoding your DVD-s into some other, portable format. And this is exactly why you would want to convert DVD to PSP.
Sony’s PlayStation Portable, or PSP, is a wonderful gadget. Not only can it provide you with hours of entertainment with fun games, but it can also play movies! How cool an experience it is to be able to play games non-stop, and then when your fingers are tired of pressing the buttons or toggling the switches continuously, to be able to switch smoothly to watching the latest blockbuster from Hollywood!

But where do you get movies for the PSP? Sony has created a new form of disc for the PSP, known as the Universal Media Disc. Many movie companies used to release new movies in UMD form, for the benefit of PSP users. But recently this trend has slackened somewhat. For financial and other reasons, many of these companies have stopped releasing for the PSP. So finding new titles for this versatile little hand-held may be more difficult nowadays than it was a year or more ago. This is one more reason why you should learn to convert DVD to PSP.

DVD video is only lightly compressed, which is why it can provide such great resolution and picture quality. But the screen of a hand-held device is much smaller than that of a TV or a computer monitor, so you don’t need as much resolution or density. There are high-quality compression programs available for free on the internet which can convert DVD to PSP. By reducing screen aspect and through other methods, they can produce a very small file for the PSP which you can put on the device through its memory stick. In this way, you can enjoy all your favorite movies on the move, without having to invest a lot on the latest overpriced portable movie player!
