If you would like a more comprehensive review of the latest MediaSmart Server Video, DVD and iPhone Update from HP then MediaSmarthome.com has a hands on and in depth review of update 2.5 as does MediaSmartServer.net, both of which are dedicated HP MediaSmart Server resources.
Also of worthy note is that the MediaSmartServerWiki has details on how to increase the number of supported video formats that the HP Video Converter is able to transcode by adding additional codec’s as well as details on improving the quality of the mobile videos via a registry hack.
Great news for owners of the EX485 and EX487.

Do these things really have the horsepower to transcode hd video files on the fly and stream them to whatever?
I’m skeptical.

For some reason (maybe because I am in Canada) the 2.5 upgrade is not show up on my EX487 box.
Is there some way to download it and install it?
