No Native DivX playback on the Nokia N8

Sorry guys, the N8 Supporting the DivX codec isn’t natively, we Had a false information. You’ll find the complete list of supported codecs below. You’ll find the complete list of Supported codecs below:

Oops. Let me explain. Yesterday we published an article after the Mowbli’s Party, during which we had confirmation (by a Nokia representative) that the N8 read DivX.

I think there was a problem with language or words used as Nokia France contacted me to clarify the position of Nokia about that: not playing files encoded with the DivX codec … See Morenatively on the Nokia N8.

i think what the person at the Mowbli’s meant is that it is possible to read files of type “movies. Avi files encoded in DivX” but on condition of re-encoding before! . Here is a complete list of supported codecs official Nokia N8 (natively), directly from Nokia.

READING :

• MPEG-4 advanced simple profile level 6 30fps 12Mbps. Audio: stereo 48kHz 128kbps
• H.264 Baseline, Main & High profiles 3.1 30fps 14Mbps
• VC-1 Main profile level 2 03fps 20Mbps
• Sorenson Spark VGA 15fps
• Real video 10 QVGA 30fps

Streaming Video:

720p 30fps H.264 Main profile
On2 VP6: VGA 30fps
Sorenson Spark: CIF 30fps
Flash Lite 4: Flash 10 compatibility for video

Videorecording :

H.264 baseline profile 3.1 720p 25fps 6Mbps MP4, AAC-LC 128kbps 48kHz stereo.

QCIF 15fps H.263 baseline 1.0 60kbps, 8kHz audio 3gpp 12.2kbps … See More

Now if you re-encode a file. Avi DivX or Xvid MPEG-4, H.264 and other codecs supported, the file will be read. But it is rather conventional.
