The ability to download and play MPEG-4 movies on the PSP has been confirmed by Sony.
According to a recent update on the official PSP Web site, the new handheld will be able to both download movie files and play them back on the fly. The site further reveals that the PSP will have the ability to play back MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) files, which the site abbreviates as MP4.

Users will be able to download MP4 files to the Memory Stick Duo, similarly to how MP3 audio files can be downloaded to the same piece of hardware. Of course, one issue to contend with is that the MP4 format, as much as it is a standard ISO format, isn't widely supported yet. Users will need to find a converter if they want to view their already existing movie files on the PSP.

    Perfect timing for my DVD2CELL article. It's almost finished; I just have to modify it to support the H.264 profile.
