UMD is more like DVD really, but physically different of course. Smaller hub, so the data tracks spiral in further, a tighter spiral, and smaller pits. Still basically uses a red laser and DVD based tech. It is pretty much a dual-layer DVD, shrunk down.I haven't heard anything about DVD on a PSP. I'm not sure how you'd do that, maybe via USB. In theory you might be able to hack up something that looked like a big MemoryStick but really read from a DVD drive, but that seems like a lot of work and money. I'm sure it'd take hacking either way. The unit can certainly decode DVD data, but getting it into the unit would be the hard part.One of my co-worker is a major PSP freak, but he's on vacation this week. When he's back I'll ask him if he knows anything. UMD isn’t really like MD. UMD is more like DVD really, but physically different of course.

Do you know anything about this?Also, is is possible that people could somehow Hack *again i know nothing of this stuff* a Minidisk player to so to say, Burn UMD formats of Games? Not sure if this makes ANY sense, again i really have no clue and its just thoughts... but im curious now and wanna know.Sorry if you dont know what the hell im talking about... lol the only thing i really wanna know is if there IS a dvd player for the PSP. I cant find anything on it on google so i doubt it. but im still curious! Thanks in advance for any info you come up with!
