A bit late for this isn't it? If you look hard enough, you'll find programs that do this for free online.
This doesn't even support Divx and Xvid, so why would I bother? However, a lot of mainstream PSP ownerss will indulge, fair enough.

Do you have to look hard to get free stuff? What about asking nicely if your a bit of a wimp?
Anyway, if you love free stuff so much, why dont you go and live in goddam Cuba! Stuff should be paid for otherwise were all heading toward anarchy in the uk!
