DivX Mobile adds video on demand

divx.jpgThe official mobile DivX player, DivX Mobile, has received a major update which adds support for DivX's video on demand service.

DivX Inc. (the company) makes DivX (the video codec) which allows for high-quality video compression with relatively low file sizes.  DivX Inc. have launched a VOD service that allows participants to download movies in DivX format from several partner content suppliers.

The mobile version of the client software - which until now only offered playback of locally-stored content - runs on Symbian S60 and UIQ devices.  Version v.90 also includes numerous bug fixes.

The app is available free (alongside a windows program that will let you convert other formats to DivX) although you will need to register with the company to be able to download it.
