I can't play videos that I download off the official PSP website using my PSP.  They're just regular MP4/AVC video files.  The icon says that the file format isn't supported.  WTF?  I have the newest firmware.  I tried resetting to defaults, that didn't work.  I can't understand why my PSP won't play files MADE to play on the PSP...any ideas?

Just the default folder, wherever the PSP saves video files.  It doesn't even give me a choice, really...

I guess I'll check it on my computer, but then how can I change the download directory on my PSP?  I'm pretty sure they're going to that folder anyway, but I hope not, 'cause that's an easy fix.  I just wish it would download directly to that folder for me...

download the video to the pc. conncet your psp to the pc, then go into my computer, go into your psp (it'll be a

removable disk) then go into the video folder, there should be one there, and put your video in there. That should work.

Well, I KNOW I can do it that way.  That just takes a lot longer than just downloading the thing using my PSP directly, which is just much more fun anyway :)

I think you have to put AVC videos in the \MP_ROOT\100ANV01\ folder.  Last I heard the \PSP\Video\ folder only worked with SP videos.

What did you use to convert it with? The most easiest solution is to download PSP video 9, and convert it with that.
