After transcoding the videos with PSP Video 9, I have absolutely no idea how to continue. Where do I put the videos? In which directory? And do they need to have a special name in order to work? I just read that the PSP is very 'picky' about the format the videos are in.

if you have your psp hooked up to your computer with psp video 9 running then it will put the videos onto your psp for you. And then you should be able to watch them

Oddly enough, I can't watch them. Despite the fact that it copied them in the MP_ROOT directory, the PSP claims that there are no video files. I'm currently trying out another converter, which also changes the name of the file...fingers crossed that it will work.

My main question is, in which directory are the video files supposed to go? Is it one of the MP_ROOT folders or should I create a new VIDEO folder in the PSP folder?

Here's a dumb question. How do you get your videos from your DVD to your PC in the first place.

You need a DVD Ripper, like DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink. Here's a great guide from PSP Maniac that explains it all.

Many of the questions on here have been dealing with not having a folder on the removable drive of the PSP. So, here's what you do.
FORMAT YOUR MEMORY STICK.
Before formatting your memory stick, you'll want to move everything out of the removable drive and place it on your Desktop because formatting your memory stick erases EVERYTHING from the removable drive.
To format your memory stick: On your PSP, go to System Settings-Format Memory Stick. After you have formatted your memory stick, the folders you need for the PSP have been made. If the video folder (MP_ROOT) hasn't been made then that's due to you not having Firmware 2.0 or above because with 2.0 or above, the folder is created automatically.
If you don't have the video folder: Go to the removable drive of the PSP on your computer and create a folder (Right-click mouse and go to File-New-Folder). The folder goes right next to the PSP folder. Name the folder: MP_ROOT (the name being all in caps) and in the MP_ROOT folder, create a folder and name it 100MNV01. The 100MNV01 folder is where you store your .MP4 videos. To be able to use the new codec: AVC, you will need at least Firmware 2.0 and the folder should be created for you after you format your memory stick once you have Firmware 2.0 and above. If the AVC folder isn't created, create a folder in the MP_ROOT folder, named:100ANV01.
MP_ROOT-100MNV01 (.MP4)
MP_ROOT-100ANV01 (AVC)
The .MP4 video is to be named: M4Vxxxxx.MP4 where xxxxx is number (example M4V00001.MP4).
The AVC video is to be named: MAQxxxxx.MP4 where xxxxx is number (example MAQ00001.MP4).

New for 2.8:
There is now a VIDEO folder on the root of the memory stick. You can just put your SP mp4 movies here. The AVC mp4s still need to go in the other folder though. There is also a MUSIC folder at the root.

Program to use to convert your videos to .MP4 or AVC:
PSP Video 9 http://pspvideo9.com/
3GP Converter http://www.nurs.or.jp/%7Ecalcium/3gpp/ (Yes, the website isn't in English.) Current version: 0.34

Okay this is what i did

First i went to youtube then i typed *How to convert flash videos or how to download flash videos*

The a multitude of videos come on how to convert the viral videos into mpegsince most videos are flash videos nowadays i only chose youtube for an example

Then i buy something like *datel max media manager* or *Sony PSP media manager* due to the ease of use by both of them(But i think the datel is better becuz of the -stretch pix to fit screen thingy-&-load mulitple videos at a time-&-it doesnt take forever to load when you got a ton of vids or pictures on it like the sony one does

After all that i just drop the videos in the designated spot on the software & B0oM im done.

P.s. i dont bother with free psp software due to my experiaces with them plus i prefer automated products that have a certain ease of use & take little time:D
