As you may be aware from elsewhere on this site, I've recently acquired a "free" Sony PSP from internetopiniongroup.com. During my holiday shopping, I had the opportunity to pick up a USB link cable and Datel Max Media PSP software for $12.88 at Target.

The cable worked perfectly, and the software was FAR better than I would have expected for the price. It allows you to transfer just about any digital movie format you like to your PSP memory card (AVI, MPG, ripped DVD "VOB" files), as well as most digital audio formats (e.g., MP3, WAV, etc.) and digital pictures (JPG, etc.). You can also backup and work with game save files.

So far, I've only worked with the digital video transfer. Using it, I was able to take an episode of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" show in a few minutes from MPG format to the PSP's MP4 format. I also transferred the entire movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" from a ripped DVD to the PSP memory card over a longer period of time. The video transfer supports both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, so wide-screen source material looks wide-screen and normal material looks normal (albeit with some black borders on the PSP display). At "high quality" mode, each 1GB VOB file became approximately a 56MB MP4 file for the PSP. That means you should be able to fit a typical 100-minute movie into about 256MB of PSP video data. With mono audio and a lower bitrate, you might get quite a bit more on there. Quite impressive.

I plan to do a more thorough review after I've spent some more time with it.
