As the PSP storms the market there is increasing concern as to what will happen to all those movies that were stored in various formats. Since PSP supports only mp4, if you have movies stored in other formats, you got to change them into mp4. so if you have a file in DivX you have to convert the DivX to mp4. Thankfully with the advent of new technology and new devices, new software has also hit the market which allows you to convert DivX to mp4. So now you have the option of playing the previous formats stored in either CDs or DVDs in your DVD player, and at the same time you can use the mp4 format for your PSP device. 

When choosing a software for the conversion of DivX to mp4 have an idea as to what you need. It will be better to opt for a software like ImTOO PSP as the options it provides are numerous and you can convert any of DVD, VCD, AVI, MPEG, GIF, Flash, WMV, WMA, WAV, MP3, MP4, M4A, OGG, AAC to mp4. It makes sense that you download a trial version before you buy the full version. Almost all the software have their trial versions available on the internet. They come with limited usage but you can at least get a hang of it. If you a tech savvy person you can do with complicated software with extra features. If you are one who isn’t into much computers then a simple, easy-to-use software should be the right choice. 

Of course you have the PSP Movie Creator also where you can convert DivX to mp4 and that too is without much hassle. However before buying the software make sure your system supports the following hardware requirements. 

Operating System - Windows 98 or higher 

CPU - Pentium II 300 MMX or equivalent as a minimum 

- DVD-R(W)/+R(W) Drive 

Memory (RAM) – minimum 64meg memory 

Hard Drive – minimum 4 GB, ideally 8GB of free space in a drive partition 

Sony Memory Stick - At least a 512 MB Pro Duo Card. For 5-10 min movies 32MB card will do 

USB Cable - PSP USB Cable 

If you are using he trial version would be able to convert only 5 minutes of a movie. To convert entire movies you will have to get a full version.
