how come some videos that are in MP4 format from limewire wont play on the psp> it will say like could not play this file or somthing.

well it could be in ipod format

they're probably the wrong resolution or frame rate

just reconvert it using psp9... voila you can now play them...

Use converting software.

oh i know to reconvert it. i was just asking why does this happen.

I download videos from limewire, and most of them work except the movies. In my psp it gives me unsupported data type, I guess the video was converted wrong or it was meant for Ipod.

the psp format is mp4, but its very strict. if the filename or other options are not correctly aligned during conversion, its a no go. heck, even if you google the correct conversion settings, and set them yourself, you still may get a file your psp cant play. i also find the movies converted for psp will play on ipod, though not the other way around.

As said before it might be ipod MP4, re-convert it and see if that does the job.

try using some video formatting software, but if i can tell this. I once had limewire, it really made a shit of my computer, loads of virus' i wouldn't recomend it

yuh, limewire = danger. i wouldnt use it unless i was on a mac. it turned my pc into a stool.
no problems on my mac, tho...

I use torrents, much easier to find stuff. Reconvert the file, or try renaming it to M4V1000x (x means any number).

ipod format should be fine, its prob just the name

how would you convert it

use PSPVideo 9, and it should auto convert it to .MP4

video 9 would work,
if your useing other converters
you can just change it to ipod most of the time, and the rest of the time, if id doesnt work, then you have to reconvert

i use limewire, no problems found. just make sure u scan files before opening and do not download .exe files. just got 5 episodes of south park in mp4 format

I'm surprised that you were able to find much for mp4 on Limewire. I use to use it pretty heavily...never was able to find psp formatted movies on it - usually avi, divx, etc..and of course music. Anyway, unlike some of the the other responses, I've had fairly good luck with Limewire.

As far as converters go, or at least a good tool for putting the mp4s onto your psp try PSP Max Media Manager. It will take an ipod mp4 and make it a psp mp4. Just do a GOOGLE search for it. I tried to post the link in here and the site inserted some extra crap. The admins must not like us referencing other sites.

I had the same questions as you when I first started...try max media manager out. It's free, and if you don't like it...try something else.

Good luck.

all mp4 movies on limewire are in ipod format. better off converting it yourself

not all, and some ipod can be plyed anyway

Get them from this site, then you know they work because the people who upload it mainly have a psp and have watched it

that happens alot to me

happen to me too

are the thumbnails the same name as the clip

I've never seen mp4 files on Limewire? Do you have to specifically search for them?

As tons of others have said just reconvert.

get mobile media converter it is perfect for transfering anything

probably Ipod

i used 9 and it worked

it's probably save under a different format.

yeh i got same prob but only with some vids

mp4 shud work, myb corupt
