HP Video Converter 5. On the Select Video Converter Profile page, click Mobile and then Next. 6. On the Input Folders page, select Videos and click Next. This assumes you will place all of your original videos that you want to convert in the videos folder or a subfolder within Videos, and that you want to convert all of your videos using the mobile profile. If you want to convert a some of your videos for mobile streaming but not all of them, you could create a subfolder within Videos called Mobile (\\Videos\Mobile) and select Mobile as your input folder instead of Videos. 7. On the DVD Settings page, select Break apart each title and click Next. This setting takes each title within your DVD, and creates a new output file. This option is recommended because it converts all of your DVD content and it breaks up the content into smaller files based on the DVD titles. When you watch the video using iStream, you will stream only the converted video title that contains the movie, and not other artifacts like menus or movie previews. 8. On the Output Settings page, verify that Mobile Default is selected and click Finish. The HP Video Converter will monitor the Videos input folder, or other folder that you selected, for new videos and convert them using the mobile settings. The final videos are placed in the Converted Videos shared folder and are ready to be streamed using iStream. These settings are also suggested for streaming videos to a Mac or PC using the HP Media Streamer. Create a Profile to Use When You Want to Copy Converted Videos to a Mobile Device You will have different considerations if you want to copy a video to a mobile device such as a Microsoft Zune or iPod Touch. In this case, the video will be on your mobile device so you do not have to worry about Internet connection speeds that you have when streaming videos. This often means that the video resolution can be higher than it is when streaming videos. However, you will still want to keep the file size relatively small so the video does not consume all of the space on your mobile device. 1.
