HP Video Converter HP V BOUT IDEO ONVERTER The video converter monitors selected shared folders and attempts to perform video conversion (also known as transcoding) on files with common video file formats. The video converter also supports DVD file system conversion, for DVD files that are commonly used in camcorders. Advanced DVD processing like title and audio track selection is not provided, as these types of features are not common on consumer camcorders and are usually only encountered in commercial DVDs which contain copy protection.
Page 184: Video Conversion Use Case Scenarios
HP MediaSmart Server User's Guide Network Bandwidth One benefit of using the Full resolution output settings is that older video formats like MPEG-2 videos are often much larger in size than the format used by the video converter.

HP Video Converter Advantages This method provides a balance for making all the video files (or at least those in the Videos shared folder) available to mobile devices, but also offers control to limit the amount of full resolution videos converted.
