Its pretty simple, in psp video 9, in the "convert" tab, open the OP video file. choose a file quality(i use QB4, its variable bit rate, and 4 is the best quality. the file size is about 75-90 mb) and choose a resolution; 368x208 if you are watching a widescreen video, and 320x240 for a Fullscreen video. Once its done, go to copy, the converted file should be there, select it then, copy or move(move means cut) it over to the PSP side.
Obviously the PSP has to be on, connected and in USB mode, before you can transfer. Also, if this is a new PSP, you have to let it format the card, that writes a bunch of folders that are needed to play anything. The video folder is in the root and has some random meaningless name(MP_Root/100MNV01). PSP video 9 will automaticaly copy the video over to it, you can do all of it through the program.
BTW, to play music and look at pictures, you need to copy the files to their individual folders in the "PSP" folder (labelled "music" and "Photo")
Too bad One Piece files are like 250 MB, so you can only have 3 at a time. Maybe 4 if you're lucky (And threw 75 bucks down onto the table for a 1 Gig)
That's one of the main reasons I ditched that PSP shit. You're much better off buying a Video iPod and saving yourself a boatload of cash. They can have up to 80 Gigs of video.
80 Gigs = The entire series onto one iPod.
Shit yeah, bitch.
After converting into ipod-playable mp4, the 23 minutes per episode goes down to about 130 mb, if I'm not mistaken. The only horrible thing is that the batteries die after 3-4 consecutive episode playbacks.
My PSP has a 2 gig card, cost my 70 CAD ($55 US). So its not that bad. Plus the screen on a PSP is 4.5 inches, over twice as much as a Ipod, and looks really good (plus the wide screen makes OP look better). Actually, if you want real portable video goodness, then get a real portable video player, like an archos or a crative vision, its better than a ipod for video and costs about the same as a 80 gi ipod (and all have ginormous screens).
Just do you know, im no sony fanboy, im actually a sony hater and actually really wanted a DS, but got a PSP as a gift. But once i have it, it works for me, if got about 200-250 songs on it (about 1.3 gigs) then keep a few hundred megs for vidoe. I usually never have more than a couple episodes of anything on it at a time. since its just for watching of the way to school or on breaks and stuff. I don't see that point of keeping whole series's on a portable player, you never watch them more than a few times anyways.
When it comes to batteries mine seem to run fine, i've watched something like 5 episodes of something once and still had enough battery life to have music playing for almost a whole day. It might be your batteries.
