Best phone for DIVx playback (with big screen and GPS)

rossyl · 7 Apr 2009 at 18:04

- The phone must playback full screen 700MB divx clips without any lag.
- Have a big screen
- Have GPS

I was thinking Samsung i900?

The HTC phones, I'm not sure if they can handle divx without lag or downsclaing.

I think the i900 is the only one with out the box DivX support, but I may be wrong....

LG Renoir does DivX and GPS

HTC Touch HD has a nice big screen. and since even the first windows mobile phones have free divx playback software available then this should too.

im sure the touch hd could play a divx file better than the omnia.

Touch HD is the winner hands downs for any type of video playback. Get Coreplayer installed and your laughing.

Samsung Omina HD (When it comes out in a couple of months) it will do DivX but also 720p

i have a omnia with coreplayer and using the intel xscale setting it plays any 700mb divx no stutters full screen...

DIVX software does not mean it can playback a 700MB file, with a resolution emant for a TV, without lag. My Nokia N73 has DIVX Mobile player on it , stutters like anything on a full size file.

Have you experienced playing a full size 700MB Divx file on the touch?

Found anything else that can do this?

Why would you play a full screen 700MB DivX on a phone? just re-encode it the right size.

Psypher5 · 9 Apr 2009 at 17:39

touch has a superior processor (1ghz?) to anything else, im sure it would cope pretty well?

just transferring some stuff onto my omnia to give it a whirl

Ranging from 720p lost to full length films in hd and dvd.

1008mb file size limit with coreplayer wtfudge

because if you have apone that can play the originals then you don't have to plan ahead. you can just pick a film on impulse...

ok i just popped shallow hal on, 649mb. plays fine no stutter, plays instantly from any selection on the timeline

few setting tweaks and it looks nice

(intel xscale, etc)
