first post

i recently have found out that google video allows downloads of psp videos (i know i am late to the party)

but i have had problems viewing the google videos. videos i personally convert using psp video 9 do work, but nothing i download and rename works.

i have tried everything in this thread and i have also tried what is on the google help page that i will cut and paste here:

4# Rename the file to MAQ*****.MP4 (where the *'s are digits from 0-9).
5# Copy/Move the file to the \MP_ROOT\101ANV01 folder on your PSP memory stick.

the videos never show up in the video list, not even as corrupted/unsupported data.

i have an American "release-day" PSP running 1.5 firmware. am i screwed? do i have to upgrade my firmware in order to watch the google videos?
