Watching Google Videos on PSP: Not Directly Possible (Use Conversion)

The PSP cannot stream Google Videos / YouTube directly. Its browser (NetFront) lacks modern HTML5/JS support, Flash is dead, and no official app exists.

Working Method: Download → Convert → Transfer

1. Download Video (PC): Use yt-dlp (CLI) or 4K Video Downloader (GUI) to save from YouTube/Google Videos.
2. Convert to PSP Format:
   • HandBrake (Free, Win/Mac/Linux): Preset → "Legacy / Classic" → "PSP 480×272" or custom: MP4, H.264 Baseline L3.0, 480×272, ≤768 kbps video, AAC 128 kbps audio.
   • FFmpeg (CLI): ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=480:272 -c:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -b:v 768k -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
3. Transfer to PSP:
   • USB Mode: Connect PSP → PC → Copy to MP_ROOT/100MNV01/ (naming: M4Vxxxxx.mp4).
   • Or: Memory Stick → VIDEO/ folder (requires system software 2.80+).
4. Play: Game → Memory Stick / Video → Select file.

Alternative: Homebrew Players (CFW Required)

• PMP Mod / PMPlayer Advance: Better codec support (XviD, DivX, higher res).
• GoTube / PSPTube (Old): YouTube clients — mostly broken due to API changes.

PSP Go / 3000 Note

Same process. PSP Go uses internal 16 GB — connect via USB or Media Go (PC software).

Bottom Line: Convert on PC → transfer via USB. No streaming. HandBrake + yt-dlp is the modern, free, reliable pipeline.
