I just bought a PSP and Im having some problems playing videos on it.
It plays the video for a couple of seconds and then gives an error saying that "this video cannot be played".
What should I do?
Im using PSP Video 9 to convert the videos.
Firmware version 3.95

The memory card you are using is faulty, get it changed if its original, has warranty. If its fake one, then best of luck.

Its a Sandisc 2 gig card w/o warranty.
But it plays mp3s and shows pics nicley.
Just the videos are having problem playing.

Yes, but the problem is because of read error afaik. There is no problem with video if it starts playing. unsupported one wont even start. Vid files are biig , hence this problem occurs more often for vids. You will sometime have this prob in mp3's too, happened with me. I got one with warranty now.

I guess I will have to buy a original one too. Do you know how much does 4gig one cost?
Also is it some problem with the firmware? do I need to update it?
Im also having problem playing demos I downloaded.

Definitely card problem, game demos dont run sometimes as these files are big too like video files. 4 GB sandisk is available for 1700/- approx with warranty.
