Not Far From It Now

So you want to know how to put videos on a PSP, right? You will need to learn how to do a number of things in order to do this. You need to learn how to download the movies, how to convert them into a file format that will work on your PSP, how to put videos on your psp, and how to manage and play the files that you get.

You may already have the videos that you want a transfer over on your computer already. Maybe you have downloaded them from YouTube already. In this case you only need to know to put videos on your PSP without downloading videos.

It's a shame that the PSP does not come with a guide to put music videos on PSP, but the information is out there if you know where to look. I spent a lot of time looking, and here at all the answers which I came up with.

The video files of the PSP uses called MP4 files. They are the next generation up from MP3 files. You can put videos on PSP memory stick for your PSP, but the PSP memory stick will have to have enough capacity to hold the entire video. The short videos and shouldn't be a problem, but with longer videos you need to make sure that the file sizes not to break, or look at alternatives to using a memory stick.

There are specialised software packages which will do the conversion for you. There is some software which is free, and alternative software which you need to pay for. They both do essentially the same thing, but the paid software has more features. The software should do more than just converting the files, in fact the more popular software will handle the transfer and actually put videos on PSP for you.

As you transfer the files over, there are two choices. Firstly you can connect to be PSP using a USB port, or alternatively you can plug could be memory cards into your PC and do the transfer directly before pulling them back into the PSP. Again, your software should know how to do this.

The big problem is getting this video is to start with, as we don't all have masses of video files lying around all the time. Popular sources videos include YouTube, Google videos, itunes videos, dvd movies you legally own, and other sources. YouTube and Google videos are fine, but the quality does tend to be a bit low, and they are mostly short videos. If you want longer videos, I strongly recommend you avoid using illegal file sharing software, which is used by video pirates to rip off DVDs.

Instead I recommend that you go for one of the new PSP download sites which specialise in providing video content of PSP owners, have complete in depth step-by-step instructions on how to put videos on a PSP, and all the software that you need. One particular network is you access to millions and millions of files which you can use in your PSP, including videos, music, games and even more software, all of which is legal to download and use.

I linked to the service which I recommend below.

Board games are an invention that has been around much, much longer than the average person would probably expect. Most civilizations throughout history have had some form of board game within its culture, with relics of some board games being discovered before signs that the culture had even developed literacy skill. The oldest confirmed board game can be traced back to 3500 BC, to the predynastic era of Egypt. Senet, as it has been come to be called, translates to "the passing game." The game had quite a popularity in Ancient Egypt, with remnants of Senet boards being found not only in the predynastic era, but also in First Dynasty burial sites, which date to around 3100 BC.

Paintings of Senet have been found on the walls of many Egyptian burial tombs, from the tomb of Merknara which dates to around 3300-2700 BC and the burial site of the Third Dynasty Hesy, who lived from 2686-2613 BC. By the time of the New Dynasty of 1567-1085 BC, Senet had come to be a game of grave importance to the Egyptians. It was believed that a good Senet player would be protected from harm by the gods and often, corpses would be buried with Senet boards as a means to aid in the dangerous journey to the afterlife. The Egyptian Book of the Dead makes references to Senet and its uses with the afterlife journey, proving its vast importance to their society.

Across the world, in China, the board game Go was being developed at the same time. The first known written reference to the game dates back to 548 BC, but legend has it that the game was begun by the Chinese Emperor Yao, who lived from 2337-2258 BC and had the game designed for his son. It has been theorized that the game was used by Chinese tribal warlords who used stones to map out attacking positions. There is even conjecture that the game originated out of a fortune telling device, but none of these can be accurately proven. Go was considered to be the game of the aristocracy and it slowly began to spread to Japan and Korea around the 5th Century AD.

Backgammon has traces of the original Senet game within it, but the first traces of its modern incarnation come from the 1st Century AD, where Ludus Duodecim Scriptorum redesigned the board into 2 rows of 12 points each. By the 6th Century, this game had come to be known as Alea, and by the Middle Ages, Alea was considered to be the most popular game. The name changed somewhat to be known as either "Alea" or "Backgammon." This game, among others, were all called "Tabula," which was a generic term that roughly meant the equivalent of "board game."

Board games have been common through most of history, with each culture and civilization showing historic proof of their existence. However, board games seemed to experience a renaissance in the middle of the 20th Century, when the rise of the middle class provided both the time, money, and the desire for collections of them to become popular. Board games are still riding the wave of this popularity and, despite whatever might happen, can be assured to last long into the future in some form or another.
