Why does my Memory Card have much less space than listed?

If you bought a 256mb (or 512/1gb) Memory Stick PRO Duo and the capacity is actually less, you didn't get ripped off. The difference has to do with the fact that software considers bytes to be a power of 2, while hardware considers it to be powers of 10. Thus, 1 kilobyte in software is 2 to the 10th power (1024 bytes) while in hardware it is 10 to the 3rd power (1000 bytes). As sizes go up, the discrepancy gets larger. Rest assured that this is not a mistake, it is simply the way all hard drives and memory cards work.

How do you put videos on the PSP?

First you need to convert the video file to a MP4 file. There is a lot of software out there to do this (ie, Image Converter, Rapiz, PSP Video 9 or PSPWare for Mac). Connect your PSP to your computer via the USB cable then go to USB mode in your options tab. Now in the root of your PSP drive create a folder called "MP_ROOT" and in that folder create another folder called "100MNV01". Now just copy all your MP4 videos in to this folder and they will all show up on the PSP video tab.

What is a Dead (Stuck) Pixel?

A dead pixel is a point of light on the screen of your PSP that shows red, green, blue, black or white. A dead pixel would only show black because well its dead (Not working). A stuck pixel is a pixel that is stuck on one color only (red, green, blue, or white). There is a Dead Pixel checker program (well not really a program just a folder with a bunch of pics in it) you can find it here.
