How to Put a DVD on PSP Using DVDFab

Copy a DVD to a PSP for portable viewing.

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) relies on a memory card for storing content that can be accessed by the game console. You can put the contents of a homemade DVD onto a PSP for viewing using the DVDFab DVD to Mobile program. You first convert the contents of the DVD into a PSP-compatible video file and then transfer the file to a PSP memory card. The PSP memory card will then enable the PSP to view the DVD. Putting a DVD onto a PSP for viewing does not void the Sony warranty.

Things You'll Need

• Memory card reader
• PSP memory card
