UMD was a rough beast, fortunately one that didn't last terribly long in the marketplace. You had two options:
  1. Buy the UMD version of your favourite movie for more than the DVD release, and receive a blocky low-res copy that only worked on the PSP.
  2. Make a digital copy from your DVD using free software and copy to a Memory Stick.

Most people went with option 2.
