Have you been pulling your hair out trying to put movies on your PSP? Many folks know it can be done but are confused on how to do it.

I am going to give you my quick and easy recipe for putting movies and video on your PSP. There are only a few steps and it is a cinch on you know how.

First like any recipe…You have your ingredients:

512 MB Pro Duo Stick (This is what holds your movie files (MP4)

DVD Player installed in your computer

DVD Ripper (This pulls the movie from the DVD to your computer)

PSP Video Converter (converts movie and video files to MP4 format that you watch on your PSP.)

(Note: There is software that has both the DVD Ripper and Converter combined)

USB Cable

1. Load your DVD and fire up your DVD ripper, select the movie or video you want to put on your PSP and hit the “extract” or “rip” button. Tell it where you want to save the file to.

2. If you already have movie and/or video files on your pc then all you need to do is hit “add” from your DVD ripper and tell it where you want to save the file to.

3. Select the file that you saved to your computer and hit the “extract and/or encode” button from your PSP video converter and save that file.

3. If you have DVD Ripper/PSP Video converter combo software…You can combine steps 1,2 and 3.

At this point you have the files on your PC…and they are in the correct format.

4. How to download or transfer your movies to PSP? Just connect your PSP with your PC with the USB cable, and create a folder on your Memory Stick called “MP_ROOT.” and create a sub-folder called “100MNV01.” under it. Copy your MP4 files to this location (no need to copy the .HTM files).

5. Now on your PSP go to video and memory stick and watch your movie!

That’s it. It is real simple to put movies on your PSP!

Are V-Chips (in televisions) designed to block indecent technology the answer to censorship? Do they really work? Why do some television programs get publicized in the first place? What is the FCC thinking? Shouldn’t all multimedia be censored as if children are viewing everything anyway?

Thankfully, the FCC has standard rules for television content, but it’s not enough. Most definitely, we need more censorship in all forms of media. Parents are already acting as police to their children―but why is the media making television viewing even more difficult than it already is? All programming (including commercials) should be rated, and as we know, advertisers are pushing the envelope every bit as much as television programmers.

What is even more complicated is that designers and advertisers who squirm or refuse to participate in tasteless advertising campaigns, music, or television programs stand to lose their jobs. This is the oddest predicament that faces multimedia artists today; yet the average employee in other professions are held in high esteem for their high moral ethics.

How can the FCC regulate and respond to the hundreds of thousands of complaints of valid concerns of censorship for the protection of jobs and families? Is the FCC going to support and protect employee’s jobs? Not all the multimedia artists want to be part of unwholesome advertising found in magazines, music, and programs being broadcasted throughout America today. No doubt about it, everything is subjective. Censorship and what is considered to be decent advertising and television programming is delicate ground. So, if you are offended by the current FCC censorship standards, the V-Chip is a technological way to help regulate your television programming for your children.

But, does the average person know how to find the V-Chip in their television? Do we even know if our televisions have them? Parents with young children need to find out. Even though there are unintended consequences for V-Chips such as having to put up with more offensive programming such as South Park; for the time being, this is our only immediate technological option for unmonitored censorship for obscenity, indecency, and profanity.

Major advances and strides were made in Holographic Projection research and development of data visualization. Many new techniques of commanding light to project data and digital imagery into holographic projection has been done recently as scientists and engineers blur the lines between real life, entertainment, video games, movies, augmented reality and the virtual reality realms. Systems have been simplified and they really work and the first time view is generally amazed at the images and stunned. Some are so taken aback that they run out and tell all their friends and talk about it for weeks on end. 2005 was the year that scientists figured it all out, now in 2006 we will see many applications enter the market place for the consumer;

We will also see in 2006 many applications being used by the military and in space as well. The possibilities are endless and the Xbox 360 Virtual Reality Living Room is near the point of blowing your socks off with new and improved action that looks so real that you will be blown away. We will also see movie theatres improving ticket sales by sectioning off one or more of their rooms for the ultimate 3D experience in a similar venue to IMAX only with surround a sound and Holographic images, putting the movie goer in the middle of the action. Think on this in 2006.
