DivX on the E61
DivX on the E61!!! Woohoo!!! No more reconverting divx to mp4.
Get it here.
I haven’t had much time to play with it, but one thing I learned is that its default full screen mode is Landscape which doesn’t really suit the E61.
Dig through the menu and change the fullscreen mode to portrait.
More of my thoughts later. :)
Haven’t tried this yet but Super works perfect. I get my dvd’s down to 400-500Mb with perfect quality and sound and I very rarely download divx-files anymore.
But hey, its a great addition for many and im happy to found it. Will try it out.
[…] - It is now possible to download a divx player for your Nokia. Techmundo reports about this here and you can download the player here. […]
I have tried it , Divx is also offering Doctor Divx OSS version for free , DR Divx is way better than Create , I kept the screen size small , will work later with larger screen size , P.S i also used QT PRo for mpeg 4 lost the sound
my problem with super is that sometimes I have mpg files; and I always get error messages whenever I try to convert mpegs to mp4. also, real player seems to have a 40 minute limit or a file size limit that anything longer or bigger than its threshold it wont recognize.
@daniel.
don’t you have problems running those 400-500mb mp4s? I cant even run an episode of prisonbreak on real player (roughly 42 minutes)
I cannot install it on my E61…does anyone has the same problem ?…
Tried to watch a new episode of “Desperate Housewives”, which I got from the net. Sound and picture are not stable…
I can run even 2 and a half hour movies on my phone, no rejection from real player. Maybe because of the firmware upgrade?
i have the new firmware as well. weird. i’ll try it again
but i tried loading an episode of prisonbreak in real player (got the episode online then converted using super) it doesn’t even detect it.
My encoding settings are maybe different. I’m using AAC,11025 sampling frequency, one channel audio, 24kbps. Video: IPod, Mpeg4, 25 frames/sec, 288kbps (works fine), no directshow, no hiQ, no stretch. Nothing selected on “Other encode options”.
ok i’ll try it out! thanks!
at the moment I think I favor the mobile divx player over real player.

Works great! I have been using smartmovie and it has been working great to.
Freeware DivX player
Techmundo 2.0 reported a couple of days ago about the new freeware Divx player that Divx.com has released for Symbian based devices. To get it, you can go to http://mobile.divx.com/ with your mobile browser and fill in all your personal…
you can change the fullscreen settings so that its not on its side:) just switch it to portrait:) or is that what you said already?:p
@Mark
Thanks what I said!!!
In fact seems we must reconvert video-files anyway, because coded at “normal” computer resolutions they are framing on E61. And there’s the AC3 codec that E61 cannot handle… Anyway, maybe the files are smaller, at same quality, with DIVX.
yup we have to reconvert still. i havent had time to play with divx though. the only time i did i noticed that the audio and video were out of synch
Hmmm… Do you have any idea on the maximum parameters this player can handle? Like, resolution, fps, settings, whatever that you plug in when converting movies?
Here’s the mencoder command that worked for me. I have little/no audio sync issues and am playing this at 24 fps on my Nokia E50. Dig it.
mencoder Angel\ -\ 5×08\ -\ Destiny.avi -ovc lavc -oac copy -lavcopts vbitrate=96:abitrate=64 -vf scale=352:193 -o e50/5×8.avi -ffourcc DIVX
bwahaha! sorry about that:)
anyway, i dont know if this will count as a tip but what i did was i bought SmartMovie version 3.25 (the convertor for PC). This version has an option to optimize video to Nokia E61 on the bottom left corner of the program.
Works like a charm:)
[…] Firstly spotted by Techmundo 2.0 a couple of days ago, DivX Player is probably the coolest free video player for S60 phones. For you who don’t know DivX, here is the description from Wikipedia web site: DivX is a video codec created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.), which has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. DivX uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, where quality is balanced against file size for utility. […]
I honestly wasn’t the first one to spot this proggy for the E61
I read about it in a forum post and decided it was blog-worth 
People! Could ayone help me!
You are talking so niceeee about that Divix player and cant waitt to try it…BUT it wont to install on my E61!
I have downloaded it for S60 3rd!
I am trying to install directly over the PC Suite with my PC and i get the message “Certificate error. Contact the aplication supplier” on my phone:(
How could i fix that?
@ raif. check out the latest post!
does it support the mini sdcards. I am runing the software but is not seeing not of the mp4 i have on the sd card.
@victor.
i use my videos from mini sd cards.
Hi
My sound is very weak under divx player I would like to know if there is a way to boost it
and why tmpgenc cannot do more than 56 kb/s for the mpeg layer 3 audio encoder
is there anyway too tell him to keep the original sound ( just encoding the video)
Thanks
as far as i know no. the sound is a bit soft.
Ralf,
You need to go to
Tools/App.Manager > Options > Settings > Software installation
and changed it from ‘Signed only’ to ‘All’
My video freezes on the first frame in Real while Smartmovie or DIVx player cannot find my video files. Do you have any recommendations before I return this phone?
@s3vst3r
divx has 2 demo files included. does these files freeze as well? if it does then I would say your e61’s a lemon
Nope, those played OK.
I returned my E62.
Nokia demostration center duplicated the same problem, Cingular store just said “return it”
i will buy E61, because I heard they have more video support

Hi. Its the first time im posting anything on a blog. I need help. There’s no place on the internet where i can find any solution to my problems.
1. Are there any codecs for my e61 to play videos without stuttering downloaded on it?
2. I convert my movies with “super” converter and the sound/video synch is not very good. What can i do with this?
3. How can i add subtitles to my divx videos?
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanx
@genth.
1. regarding codecs. you can convert using super and output it as an ipod video file and use real player to play it, or covert using alot of other programs and output as divx and use the divx player described in this post.
2. hmmm i can’t help you with that. all the vids i covert using super are synched. any ppl out there who can help genth?
3. you can check out www.vcdhelp.com. they have lots of tutorials on encoding,e tc etc .you might find subtitling there also. may i ask why? it’ll be teeny tiny subtitles on the e61!
will this software also work on a nokia N91??
and what about .sisx software. you know some places???
Thx a lot man. I’m shocked to get an answer this fast.
1. I ment the vids that i download on my e61 with eg. Google video. Just asking if theres a codec for my phone, to prevent:
-download it on the nok.
-copy to pc
-convert
-copy to phone
-and then watch:)
2. I just got media coder. I didnt install it yet, but i’m gonna check it out
3. I was watching movies with subtitles on the n-gage. So i think it cant be that bad:)
4(sorry:)). Is there any possibility to play movies on the phone through google video or www.smog.com etc. ’cause there is some streaming in this nok.
Sorry its www.smog.pl
yup it will work with the n91.
genth, you can get videos online but i don’t think it will work right away. you need to convert it to either divx or mp4 so the e61 video players can recognize it.
Ive tried dloading the s60 3rd edition client off the mobile.divx.com site and it says its not supported??? whats going on?? please help
thanks

If u have an error installing it on the E61, like “intsallation error” or so!!! i’ve had that problem 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i have a solution!!!!!!!!!
Here it is:
1. “must” download from PC from this website: http://mobile.divx.com/DivXPlayer_S60_3rd.sisx and save it to ur pc
2. Have a [mini SD] to [SD] adapter and plug it in to ur PC
3. And then copy the file u downloaded from ur pc to the memcard [Without] the pc suite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. and then instert the mem car back to into ur phone, go to [file manager] to install it from memcard
5. IF NEEDED: go to Tools> App.mgr > Options> Setting> and check if u have the following:

Online certf. check= [OFF]
Btw words between the [brackets] are important
Hopes This Helps
Worked With me , GOOD luck
hint : if you can’t get the installer to work on your E61 then rename the file from .sisx to .sis and it should install.
Hi
I installed Divx reader on my E61 so the problem I am living is that I can not see the Divx movie I saved on my E61. In other words when I try to open the file the system show me the demo files only.
I am sure the Divx files are in the phone because I can see these using file manager.
Can someone help me?
thanks
M@x
M@x, that hasn’t happened to me yet. maybe you haven’t converted the files first before putting it on the phone? the phone supports a much smaller divx than what’s readily downloadable from torrent sites
Hi Agwe23
Thank you for your attention.
You say me I should convert the files? Let me understand: should I convert a Divx file to another format? It the E61 reader a Divx reader or not? For example could I read on my E61 phone the Divx movie I read on my PC using a normal Divx reader or not?
Thanks again!
usually the pc files are four times as big as the divx for e61.
if any divx player for my nokia 3250?
@ Max.
You MUST install the divxplayer on ur MEMORY card otherwise (because it is not signed) it will not be able to read the phones filesystem.
I have installed the symbian divx player on my nokia 3230. But the problem is sound does not play. Can somebody help?
Hi there,
My mobile DivX player doesn’t work anymore. Is it just mine or was there some sort of time “bomb” programmed into the player?
very excellent software.
my divx is probing me for a newer version saying that it has expired. Currently is unable to use the player. Can anybody help? Thanks
I have the same problem as Hasan and salyerattes, my player says “Application expired, testing version expired please download the latest version” And have tried to reintall the player, but not working anyway. Any suggestion how to solve the problem?
turn back phone date 2006 and turn on divx player work fine put date are wrong divx limit are 2007? mayby sorry bad english
You have to load new 0.85 version and upgrade. Then it works again.
