Manually load:
Click "Cancel" to back to the beginning panel, and load the created files to PSP by yourself manually later.

When you load the files, please note there are such naming and path setting rules (below) you should respect. Otherwise, your PSP would not recognize the videos:

1. You must copy the correlated ".mp4" and ".THM" files, which have the same name, to the same folder;
2. The file name should be M4V00001.mp4 to M4V99999.mp4, and M4V00001.THM to M4V99999.THM. Neither the number of "mp4" or "THM" files in one folder could over 99999, otherwise just move the files to another folder.
3. The path should be (Drive Letter):MP_ROOT101MNV01 to (Drive Letter):MP_ROOT999MNV01. The number of folders in PSP should not over 999.

There is an example:
1. Firstly, rename superman.mp4 to M4V00001.mp4, and superman.THM to M4V00001.THM.
2. Then, assumed that "G" is the drive letter of your PSP, create a folder on it like this: G:MP_ROOT101MNV01.
3. Lastly, copy M4V00001.mp4 and M4V00001.THM altogether to the folder.

After the conversion task is completed, the program will report the result summary.

If the target file is successfully generated, the program will show a path link. Click the link to open the file.
