MTS files I had downloaded, so if you have a camera that records AVCHD files then you will be out of luck with the Converter. The Converter did not detect some sample. I tried placing some TV recordings from my Vista Media Center PC, hoping to be able to use the mobile format to watch the latest MotoGP or World Superbike races while away from home since DVR-MS is in the supported file list, however these also failed to convert with no error message beyond “Failed”.

Unfortunately the conversion always failed with no indication of why. It produces MPEG-4 H264 files which is the same output format as the converter, so I was hopeful that it would convert them to the Mobile quality format for streaming over the web as a way to show home videos to remote family members.

One of the more frustrating issues I encountered was that the Converter always failed while converting the files created by my Sanyo HD700 720p camcorder. In my testing the HP Video Converter was able to handle most files that I tried, with a few noteworthy exceptions. The list of supported file types includes AVI, MOV, DVR-MS, MP4, WMV, and unprotected DVD VOB, and they also claim to support most digital camera video clip formats. However I did read a note in the help files explaining that files copied over by the Media Collector feature could sometimes begin encoding before the file copy was complete, which would result in a failed conversion. I was pleased to note that the Converter could tell when files were being copied to the server and marked them with a “Waiting” status until they had finished being copied, at which point the status changed to “Pending” in preparation for conversion. This feature has some real appeal to me as my primary methods of streaming media in the home is with an HP MediaSmart Connect x280n digital media receiver and an Xbox 360, both of which have decent file support but do not play everything in my collection. The HP Video Converter is a new feature that is designed to convert the videos on your server into a format that is compatible with a wide range of mobile and in home devices, to make it simpler and easier to view your content. Lack of configuration options in the S3 Online Backup feature.Photo Slideshow controls and captions obscuring photos in the Web Media Streamer.Inability to rotate photos in the Photo Publisher.Long songs aborting after 4-5 minutes of playback.Incorrect track orders for albums in the Web Media Streamer.Incorrect track counts in the Web Media Streamer.Lack of Single-Sign-On for HP Remote features, forcing users to authenticate multiple times when accessing different features.

Strange behavior streaming via Twonky to Windows Media Player 11 on my PC.Failure to stream some files via Twonky that would play successfully in the default Windows Media Connect or the older version of Packet Video.Lack of customization options for the Media Collector.eSATA port not port-multiplier aware, which means multi-drive eSATA storage enclosures would only allow usage of a single drive.To start off the review I would like to offer a brief refresher of the issues I found with the EX485 and EX487 at the time of its initial launch.

I’ll update this article when I hear back from HP. I have submitted to HP all of the issue identified below a couple of days ago and have not yet gotten a response as to whether they are known issues or if there are workarounds to resolve the issues I encountered.

The update has just been released to the public, and my objective with this review is to show you in more detail the new features in the 2.5 Software Update, and show where there have been improvements from what I encountered in my review of the EX485 and EX487 Servers at their initial launch. Since then, HP has given me early access to the final version of the 2.5 update and I’ve been trying it out for the past few days.
