Finding a
Podcast on PSP
There are many podcasts on PSP
available. Some of
them simply share information on the
PlayStation
Portable and distribute it to people interested in
portable
gaming. These podcasts serve as news
organizations,
sharing audio or visual files talking about
the
PlayStation Portable and speculating about updates
to
the PSP. The vast majority, however, take advantage
of
the ability of the PlayStation Portable's ability
to
download and play quality videos on the gaming
screen.
Developers of the program PSP Video 9 first created
a
program that could change videos from computer types
like
.avi and .mpeg to the format used by the Play
Station
Portable.
Once that was done, it was quickly
possible to create
podcasts for the PSP. Podcasters began
creating video
files, changing them to a format readable by
the
PlayStation Portable, and distributing them by
podast
feed. These podcast feeds are subscribed to by
people
interested in the feed, who download the episodes
as
they come out. After the video files are transfered to
the
PlayStation Portable, they can be viewed whenever
the
end user wishes, just like the other movies
and
professionally done videos available for the PSP.
The
PlayStation Portable has thus been changed from
simply
being a portable gaming platform to a piece of
full
featured media hardware capable of playing
games,
storing information, and playing videos and
movies,
moving toward a more complex future.
