ms0:\VIDEO\ - for plain MP4 movies like the video iPod movies. Names can be anything. You need firmware 2.80 or better (or a custom firmware) for this directory to be used.

ms0:\MP_Root\100MNV01\ - for MPEG4-SP encoded movies (DIVX/XVID). Name MUST be M4V1xxxx.MP4 where xxxx is some number from 0000 to 9999. For example, M4V10011.MP4.

ms0:\MP_Root\100ANV01\ or
ms0:\MP_Root\101ANV01\ - for MPEG4-AVC encoded movies (h.264). Names MUST be MAQ1xxxx.MP4. Same deal as above with xxxx. I have not seen anything specific posted on the difference in these two directories, but it seems that older firmwares want the 100ANV01 name, while newer firmwares want the 101ANV01 name.

Note: there are restrictions on the resolution and bitrate of the movies unless you use a custom firmware. Sony firmwares before 2.60 cannot play AVC encoded movies from the memstick. All resolutions must be equal to or smaller than 368x208 for 16:9 movies, or equal to or smaller than 320x240 for 4:3 movies. For example, 256x192 is acceptable for a 4:3 movie, while 368x272 is not. The bitrate for the video must be less than 768 kbps.

You cannot put an AVC movie in the 100MNV01 directory or an SP movie in the 100ANV01(101ANV01) directory.
