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. The output of a
Full resolution video conversion can be approximately 25% of the file size of an original DVD
(MPEG-2). This significant reduction in size can make streaming via 802.11G less problematic
(although many factors impact streaming videos wirelessly and results may vary widely).
When considering remotely streamed video content (using a Windows Home Server with Remote
Access Enabled), Full resolution videos will be difficult to stream remotely on many broadband
connections. HP recommends using the Mobile resolution videos when streaming remotely for
more success. These videos are very limited in resolution and visual fidelity, to provide a better
chance for successfully accessing videos remotely. The Mobile resolution setting produces a
video that is commonly supported for the mobile devices listed above. The Mobile resolution is
also ideal for streaming playback on Internet connected PCs using the HP Media Streamer or the
HP MediaSmart Server iStream application for iPhone or iPod touch.
