PSP "Corrupted Data" Error for Videos from iTunes: Causes and Fixes

Common causes for "corrupted data" when transferring iTunes videos to PSP:

1. Wrong File Format

PSP supports mainly MP4 (H.264) and AVI (Xvid). iTunes may encode differently. Check PSP manual/Sony site for supported formats.

2. File Size Limits

PSP has max file size limits. Convert to smaller size or split files.

3. Encoding Settings

Even correct format may have incompatible settings (resolution, bitrate). Experiment in iTunes or use a converter.

4. Corrupted Source File

Re-download or convert with different software.

5. Transfer Issues

• Ensure proper USB connection; try different port/cable.
• PSP must be in "USB Connect" mode.

6. Firmware Issues

Update PSP firmware to latest version.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Verify format/size compliance.
2. Convert video (free/paid converters available).
3. Transfer via file manager instead of iTunes.
4. Check file integrity on PC first.
5. Update PSP firmware.
6. Factory reset PSP (last resort).

If persistent, may be hardware issue—contact Sony Support.
