Yes, there are many programs available that will convert video files to a PSP compatible format. Playback time depends on which version of the memory stick you have (32 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB) and the bitrate that you encode the movie (the higher the bit rate, the better quality the movie).

The PS3 keeps some of your files within your user profile and shared others. See below for a summary of what is personal and what is shared:

To be able to save bookmarks, you must have the “SYSTEM” folder in your “PSP” folder. A quick way to correct this is to format your Memory Card, but remember to backup your data first!
Each option on the XMB (Photos, Music, Videos) can only display files located on a specific folder of a storage media (HDD, USB Flash Disk, Memory Card etc). If you are using a external data store, you must create the following folders on the root of the drive:
The format utility (found under Settings > System Settings > Format Utility) can create the necessary files on the external storage media, but will erase any existing data.
Your browser will display a low memory error if your cache is full. To disable this error, simply disable the use of your cache by changing the settings. The disadvantage is that each page will need to be loaded as it will not be stored locally.
You can increase the size of your cache, but in the end, it will cause the same problem. For the time being, it is best to disable cache. Hopefully Sony will release a fix for this error!
If the error persists, you can manually empty the cache. The error normally occurs when you try to load a large page or image.
Firmware 3.10+
On Firmware 3.10 and greater, you can enable the [Conserve Memory] option from the[View Settings] menu to prevent the Low Memory Error from occuring. The [Conserve Memory] option enables you to view a Web page that contains a larger amount of data because less memory is used to display the page.

The PSP has a hibernate mode, which saves your exact position when you turn off the console. When you turn on the console, you will be in the exact same position, whether in the PSP system menus, or actually playing a game.
If your battery dies, all unsaved data will be lost. If the green power LED on your PSP is flashing, it is best to save your game, as this indicates low battery.
To hibernate your PSP, simply push the power switch up for no more than 1 second. To turn off your PSP completely, hold the power switch up for 3 seconds.
The PS3 supports many of the PS2 accessories. The SOCOM headset and PS2 EyeToy can be configured via the Settings > Accessory Settings menu. You can even hook-up a USB/Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.
Press the “HOME” button during any game. A menu will come up asking if you want to return to the system menu. On the top right corner is the battery indicator along with the date and time. The power indicator light will blink when the battery is running low.
The PS3 can recognise the following video files:
