No, Sony deliberately limited the PSP, you cannot play video files from memorystick that are the actual resolution of the screen.
The limit is something like the equivalent of 320x240, so probably only 76800 or so pixels allowed. Sony probably do this to give people a reason to buy UMD videos for the PSP, as they work at full res. With older firmware they didnt even allow H264 off the memorystick, but they relented on that one. Apparently another problem is framerate, it wants 29.97fps movies which isnt very nice for people whose video is PAL. Couple that with the silly filename issue, and the 'need to do something special to the atom structure of the mp4' issue, and it makes the whole PSP thing much more of a nightmare than it need be. When I get a new TV for Christmas I will evaluate how ipod with 480x272 clip compares to same clip on ipod at 624 x 352.
