Since this setting converts each title on your DVD as a separate output file, you will only need to
copy the converted video file to your mobile device that contains the movie and not other content
like menus or movie previews.
11. On the Output Settings page, verify that iPod/Zune 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 iPod/Zune settings. The final videos are placed in the
Converted Videos shared folder and are ready to be copied to your mobile device.
Using Media Collector with Video Converter
If you have videos on multiple network computers and you want to convert them using Video
Converter, it may save you time to move the videos to the server using Media Collector. You may
find this scenario ideal if you have little to moderate video content on your network computers. If

and how much disk space will they take up on the server.

in the system tray and log on.

folder.
See Configuring Media Collector General Settings

6. While creating the profile, select the Videos shared folder as your input folder since that is where
Media Collector places videos.
For more information on creating profiles, see Configure Video Converter

Depending on the number of videos you are converting and their size, the HP Video Converter
may take a very long time to convert files.
