The HP Video Converter converts most popular video formats into a file format that can be played
on a variety of devices like notebook PCs, xBox, Playstation, and iPhone. In some cases, you will
want to convert videos because the original video format cannot be played by the video player or
device you are trying to use. In other cases, video conversion can be used to reduce the resolution
and file size so you experience improved performance during video streaming.

About Video Converter
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.
Videos are converted to a single file format: an MPEG-4 video file using an H.264 video codec
and AAC stereo audio codec. Check the video player documentation for support of this video
format. At the time of this writing, some devices supporting this format included:
ƒ Microsoft xBox 360
ƒ Sony PlayStation 3
ƒ Sony PlayStation Portable
ƒ Apple iPod (newer iPods with video support)
ƒ Apple iPhone
ƒ Microsoft Zune
