DivX Player for mobile

I love my Nokia N73 very much. I know the model is now a bit old. But I simply love it. The best thing I love about Symbian based mobile is that it supports a vast range of software. At times, I like viewing video clippings or video songs on my mobile. Of course, I could use the internal Video Player. But, in my opinion, it sucks. So, I went out searching for different options to view video on my mobile. My preference was a player that support XviD or DivX formats. Of course, there is the ever popular Smart Movie Player. But, I wanted to search for something free. That's when I met the DivX Player.

After installing the player, I found it's interface to be quiet similar to that of Smart Movie player. Now to test the player, I encoded some video clipping into DivX and XviD formatted AVIs. It supported both formats. The DivX player is available for Windows Mobile 5 and Later, as well as, Symbian OS 9.0 (S60 3rd edition, UIQ 3.0) and Later.

Player interface is straight-forward. On start-up, you get a list of videos available on your mobile. If you want to update the list, choose Options->Refresh list. Pressing the joystick opens the selected video. By default, the video is shown in a small screen. But you can choose Full screen mode from the Options. After choosing Full screen, you will have to tilt the mobile to view the movie.

The joystick controls are also very simple. Left and Right for Rewind and Forward, Up and Down for Volume Up and Down. In full-screen mode, as the screen tilts into landscape mode, the joystick control also changes accordingly.

There are a few options available in Settings like changing the Audio/Video Sync. Overall, I find this a great software for your mobile device. So, if you have a supporting mobile. Just go and download the software. After all, its a free software and comes directly from the official DivX people.
