Sony has confirmed that its new PlayStation Portable (PSP) will be able to playback MPEG-4 (H.264) video files from Memory Sticks. There had been some initial confusion about whether the portable wonder machine would play videos which weren't on UMD discs, but Sony's making it explicitly clear that the PSP will play video files stored on Memory Sticks, and that they will also be releasing a software program, Image Convert 2, for users to convert their video files to the MPEG-4 standard.
