Can iPod Videos Play on Sony PSP?

Not directly. Format and DRM barriers prevent native playback:

• Codec mismatch: iPod uses H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (.m4v/.mp4); PSP supports MPEG-4 SP, H.263, WMV9.
• DRM: iTunes purchases (pre-2009) are FairPlay-protected.

Workaround: Convert & Transfer

1. Use HandBrake (free) or VLC to convert to PSP-compatible MP4 (H.264/AAC, 480×272, ≤768 kbps).
2. Copy to MP_ROOT/100MNV01 on Memory Stick.
3. Play via Video menu on PSP.

Alternative Players

• Homebrew: RockPlayer, PSP Media Player (broader format support via CFW).

Conversion may reduce quality; DRM-free sources work best.
