1.Install Daniusoft DVD Ripper and load DVD.
2 Select the right format you want to rip and the output folder.

Press 'Start' to rip DVD movie to the right format.


This DVD ripper software can also set twice volume of output file, capture photo from DVD and save to computer. I capture a photo when preview, it's much convenient for me. It can rip DVD to all popular players, so I can use it for iPod, too.
After conversion, copy the file and put it to the 'Movie' folder or 'Video' folder, now you can enjoy DVDs on your PSP phone. Don't forget, you can rip DVD just as personal not commercial.
Part Three: Go to internet on PSP.
If you have known how to do that, please go to part one.

6.After scan, choose the SSID you want to enter, before you can go to internet, you should enter your name and press 'Enter' to quit.
7.Go ahead. Select the network and enter it, then you need to input a 'WEP Key' before you can go to internet.
