Part2. How to rip DVD and convert video to PSP
PSP can play only MP4 video, DVD movie is
MPEG-2 video and has CSS protected, so you have to rip the DVD movie to MP4, and then transfer it to PSP, If you stick with freeware, you can use
DVD Shrink to rip the DVD to computer, ad then use
PSP Video 9 to convert the ripped file to MP4 video. As for me, I’d prefer using Aimersoft PSP Converter Suite, it can rip protected DVD movie and convert video to MP4 video, more over, you can also trim or crop the DVD movie to enjoy the video on PSP with full screen, that’s really cool. What you have to do just put your DVDs on your DVD drive, and then click start button to begin the conversion, and then transfer the video to your PSP with its embedded
PSP video manager, done, it couldn’t be easier. If you want to learn more about it, you can refer to its official site

Moreover, you can click the Crop drop-down list to select a Crop model you prefer, for example: “Cut off top and bottom black edges”. You can even type the number in
the box to cut off black border accurately.
If you want to combine several DVD chapters into one file, on the main interface, there is a check box “Merge into one file”, select it, then you will only get one output file instead of several files by chapters.
