During the era of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), "UMD Movie" was more common as it represented the main function of the format but as UMD adoption expanded beyond movies and included other types of video content such as TV shows, music videos, and documentaries, "UMD Video" became a more generic term to encompass the full range of applications. While UMD primarily focused on movies and video content, there was also some limited use of the format for UMD Music. However, it wasn't nearly as widespread as movie or other UMD Video content. UMD-PG on the other hand stands for UMD-Players Game, and it was used for a unique type of [[Home_Media_Player#Interactive_media|interactive media]] released on UMDs for the PlayStation Portable (PSP).

*PPSSPP has no UMD Video or UMD-PG support at the moment: [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/4902 UMD Movie request] and [https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/11662 UMD Video and UMD-PG request] for PPSSPP.
