First things first you need a file that you want to convert to MPEG-4.
I used a Quicktime (.MOV) file from www.apple.com/trailers you can use anything to convert the preliminary file. I used Quicktime Pro 6 to first Save the Quicktime, then Export it (using quicktime) for further conversion.
Next you will need to use a Program to convert it to the PSP standard, Sony Has software availible, but I have not been able to purchase it, i've found that 3GP Converter Version 0.22 has the necessary drivers to convert it properly. You can download it here. (Although it's apparently from a Hacker Group... so legality and the longevity of this link is questionable)

next setup your memory stick Root Directory to accept the files, in my case its D:\
First create a directory called "MP_ROOT"
Then inside that Directory called "100MNV01"
"The file name of the video file should be something like M4V00001.MP4. If you want to add another file, then name it M4V00002.MP4. The third file should be M4V00003.MP4 and so on..."
The Converter Will automatically rename it to a Suitable format, so if using the "direct" mode you shouldnt have to manually rename it, it should be suitable.
The Memory Stick Dir should look like this:
Ok using quicktime pro 6,
First open up the .mov file and select "Export"
Then Select export as MPEG-4 and then select the encoding "Options"
In the options you can select the Video/Audio Bitrates I've found for most impressive video that is closest to the original High Quicktime Bitrate, use around 1500... you can use as little as 300k but it will look like a bad webcast and be very blocky, although it will be a very small file, this is up to you... but very important.
Ok once you've exported the mov into a new .mp4 file open up "3GP converter 0.22" Downloadable Here: http://www.nurs.or.jp/~calcium/3gpp/
Open up the Setup Executable
Then either alot of Japanese or Gibberish will appear, depending on your system fonts I believe.
And select the MP4 option "Transcoding_PSP_Direct.ini"
Then select the conversion quality, it should be close to what you originally set the MP4 file to... in my case i'm selecting QVGA/29.97fps/1500kbps Video 128Kps Audio for High/Impressive Quality.
I believe the program has a browse for Option, but in my case it made the program freeze up, but never fear you can Drag And drop the MP4 file for encoding in the top area, in fact for multiple files you can keep on dragging them and queue them up one after another.
The Encoder should immediately start encoding, on my system it automatically saved the files to my /Desktop folder...
Ok once its done Re-encoding the file (yet again) it should create appropriately named files, 1 video file, and one helpful thumnail file that will look something like this, and in my case on your desktop.
Then simply open up the prepared Memory Stick Video Directory
and drag and drop/cut and paste/or copy the 2 files into the D:\MP_ROOT\100MNV01 directory, and once they're done you should be good to go.
Insert in the PSP and you should be able to see them, as long as theyre properly mounted and named.
Open the Video Area, and you should see the Thumbnail(s) for all videos properly on there...provided you put the thumnail file.
View and Enjoy!!!
Note I've found widescreen files look best after pressing triangle and selecting the "Full Screen" mode, it looks like some might be cropped a little, but the aspect ratio is preserved and the video looks VERY nice... note bad photo, the image is VERY sharp....
