Also, the PSP mainly uses different variants of MPEG-4 codes and the first PSP model solely supported the MPEG-4 SP video format. The latter upgraded models started additionally using H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10, which is more simply known as Advanced Video Coding or AVC and the Audio Video Interleave or AVI format.
