For those of you who always wanted to download videos to your desktop for your PSP, I came across a quick easy way to do this using FireFox v1.5. Hopefully some of you out there will find this useful and be able to flood your mem stick with tons of new media!

1. Get Firefox 1.5 (if you don't already have it).

5. Done!

Now simply go to the video of your choice at http://video.google.com and you will see the download button. Just choose PSP from the format menu, and click download! Enjoy.

You can already download any movie from google video preformatted for the psp... even without this mod...? Unless all it does is rename the vid "MAQ*****.mp4"?

# way easier way — Guest 2006-03-18 08:49

or you could just get a gmail account...

i do it all the time

# why grease monkey? — Guest 2006-03-18 08:51

You don't need greasemonkey, who doesn't have gmail account?

Once you go to video, you can download any video by choosing from the dropdown menu.

The problem is THEY WON'T WORK WITH 1.5 !!

You need AVC support in your PSP otherwise you should convert them to PMP which does pretty good job.

The link in stage 4 is the same link as the one in part 2.

Ignore Stage 4, by that point you're ready to go.

If you don't know how to do this, you don't deserve a PSP.

# Ok PISS ME OFF BADLY — Guest 2006-03-18 10:05

WHen i download it.. but put in the psp when i try to play it it alway said that the file was incompatible data..

i download those mp4 from google.

# 1.50 — Cronos1388 2006-03-18 10:12

You need 1.50 the videos are AVC

# Compatibility Issues — Guest 2006-03-18 10:13

This is because its the AVC coding. You can boot this on firmware 1.5 using MPH's firmware launcher and temporarily launching 2.0. See tutorials in the forums for help

# Guest 2006-03-18 10:21

you can do this with IE anyways

# Advanced! — Shoyushu 2006-03-18 11:10

And next week, we look at the more complicated process of how to TIE YOUR SHOELACES SO YOU DON'T TRIP OVER ALL THE TIME.

... Seriously, Google walkthroughs? ****.

# Pointless — Guest 2006-03-18 11:42

Some people just like doing things the hard way I guess.

# laughing at you all — Guest 2006-03-18 11:52

i'm sober and laughing at you all, crono, typo's? you need 2.0+ not 1.5 you dink. yes, all you need is a g-mail account, like me and everyone else that isn't you. but since you can convert videos yourself with the hundreds of conversion apps, does it really matter if there psp ready, or are you all just lazy.

# Is this necessary? — Guest 2006-03-18 12:27

I don't understand why you need Firefox or why you need the Greasemonkey extension or the script to do this. You can do all of this using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc. If you have a compatible browser (mostly every new browser out there) then the download link and the download option for PSP will ALWAYS be there. No need for Firefox, Greasemonkey or the script. Unless of course, the script does something special, such as renaming the file because you need to do that manually using the method provided by Google Video. By the way, I like the concept of using the name "Anonymous Coward" for anonymous posters.

# Guest 2006-03-18 12:55

If you want to turn out a light in your house - instead of hitting the switch, take a walk down to the powerstation. Find a big stick (preferably metal) on the way. Climb inside the powerstation and get close to the big things that make a 'bzzzzzz' noise. Ram the stick in as hard as you can.

# greasemonkey — psmo290 2006-03-18 13:49

what does greasemonkey do anyways?

# It is necessary — Guest 2006-03-18 14:07

That dropdown box is ONLY there if you have a GMAIL account and are signed in on it.

If you do not then the download link will NOT be there and you need this script. That is why it works for you without this script. You probably have gmail.

# Name: Crazy_8 — Guest 2006-03-18 14:18

Umm.....who didn't already know this?

And you don't need to install Firefox specificaly or greasemonkey. (Thought I do use Firefox my self)

The only thing you need to do is select PSP from the drop down box on GoogleVideo, and then rename the file you download to M4V*****.mp4 (replace the astrisks with any number from 0-9, it doesn't matter what the number is, or what combination, just so long as you don't name any two files the exact same 5 numbers)

I've been doing this for months....I don't see the advantage to doing it this other way.

As for the thing I keep hearing about an incompatability with firmware 1.5, I really can't be sure about that. I run 2.00. :)

# Err, — Shoyushu 2006-03-18 14:39

"That dropdown box is ONLY there if you have a GMAIL account and are signed in on it."

Negatory.

"You probably have gmail."

Failure again.

"If you do not then the download link will NOT be there and you need this script"

It is there. Because I use Internet Explorer. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and I use a cat-skinner not a spoon.

In other words: use IE, ****slapper. It works fine and you don't need to do anything.

Also, be aware that not all videos on Google Video are available for download in PSP format.

# FireFox — Guest 2006-03-18 16:27

I downloaded grease monkey and I don't see a difference.

You don't need Gmail to log in with Firefox either

# hey shoyushu — slack04 2006-03-18 16:49

stop being such a ****. your pissy little comments are not helping anyone.

# What???? — Guest 2006-03-18 22:36

Quote the guy who said - "That dropdown box is ONLY there if you have a GMAIL account and are signed in on it.

If you do not then the download link will NOT be there and you need this script. That is why it works for you without this script. You probably have gmail."

--------------------------------

INCORRECT!!!!... I DO NOT have a Gmail account and I DO NOT have this Stupid Greasemonkey.... All I do is use Firefox and that drop down menu is their all the time!!!!

Been using this option on Google Videos for ages, Surely its not New news is it???....

Plus I have Firmware 1.5... Just use MPH Firmware Launcher and boot up 2.00+ :)

# lemonparty.org — Guest 2006-03-18 22:43

Facking noobs.

You dont need a gmail account for either.

I was under the impression greasemonkey was able to leech streaming or embedded videos on the fly.

:(

# ****ing idiots — Guest 2006-03-19 06:29

This _HAS_ to be the worst community ever.

Yes, you can download videos without a gmail account since like January, but that does not mean you need to flame someone to death for posting this article.

I think some people here need to get lives. And i mean REAL lives, not ones where they try to show their superiority over others by using insults that 4 year olds do.
