Very good . tested it and the quality is fantastic. The only thing that bothered me was the white 'description' at both top right and left. Hope they will solve that.

You can remove the top left one by touching the DivX sign, not sure about the bit on the right.

That application is just awesome. Thanks a lot for the post. Does anybody knows how to set it as default video player so that we can play videos downloaded through say Dolphin browser?

Saw it on another android site yesterday, Tried some DivX AVIs with it very happily on HTC Desire. Also tried a 1080p MKV sample file, It worked amazingly, just very, very slowly. I expect MKVs of 800x480 resolution or less would probably play quite smoothly!
Really happy to finally see a DivX player on Android that is good quality, syncs sound properly and plays all the files i've so far thrown at it!
If the non-beta comes to market and costs a couple of $/£ I would highly recommend a purchase!
I've stuck the APK onto my SD and found it in astro. When I click on it it just opens it like a folder. How do I actually install please?
Thanks
Edit: Worked it out, you have to remove the .zip file extention....
Edit again! : Oddly, if you try and add a shortcut to this program, it does not appear in the shortcut menu. You have to go to the main application list and drag it from there.

I noticed that too - if you choose add program instead it's fine (although it also threw me that the name was DemoPlayer, I was looking in the list for RockPlayer).
Works great for me too - just uploaded some Big Bang Theory, full size, direct from my media tank and they play beautifully, tried skipping around and stuff to check the sound sync and it's all good.
The only issue I have with it is that stretching movies with lower resolution to fullscreen makes the image seem pixelated rather than smoothed out, like in the default media player. In other words, no antialiasing when zoomed in.
Much better than yxflash for me....
I tried 3 files one was 640x480 which worked perfectly, the other 800x480 which worked as well but my 720p mkv file only got me 10fps..which doesn't matter that much to me...
I hope in the full release everything gets sorted out then i will defo pay or donate to the creator because this to me is amazing since i no longer have to convert all my videos....

Ditto, means I can instantly access about 1TB of stuff without having to do a thing (except copying it to my SD card), with this app video on my phone finally makes sense!
everyone's saying its a good app...
but i can't seem to get it working ):
i'ved tried .avi extensions with mpeg-4 (dvix, xvid)
h.264 codec and also .flv extensions
but it doesn't seem to work... the video moves really slowly (as if it was slowed x5 from what it looks like on my computer) and there is only sound the first second it is played...
anyone knows if i'm doing it wrongly?
all i need to do is just drop the video file into my sd card and that's it right?
or is it that this player only plays certain .avi files? are there any resolution restrictions to this player?
this works really really well. Only tried with a couple of DivX files but plays them very well. Search function doesnt work very well but it plays the films great. Makes my Desire almost complete

Reason: Adding detail
I can browse videos and play some of them from my PC over wi-fi using EStrongs File Explorer. If I do 'Open As', I can choose which player to open them in (after clearing Defaults in App Manager), but the DivX Player doesn't appear as an option.
If it did I could play any video file on my PC via my Desire, which would be uber cool.
I guess the app just needs to register itself as a player somewhere...
Excellent player, deffinatly worth the download, it plays movies in 3 different size formats which is very handy, the slide bar to FF or RW is much easier to control than YXflash too.
personally i use "Total video converter" available free, i used to use it for converting youtube video's into avi's, but since youtube vids are available as a direct avi download thesedays i rarely need to convert video's.
you can convert pretty much any video format into any other video format with full control over frame rate/aspect ratio/audio settings etc etc.
For video editing videopad is a good choice.

I've had mostly success with it but I tried a few today (no idea what encoding etc) and it had some serious lag, sync and play speed issues on them.

You got a link for that please? I googled and downloaded one of that name but it certainly doesn't seem that good.
I'd have thought getting a dvd -> divX free app would have been straightforward these days, but i'm doing loads of googling and not found anything that impressive yet.
The HTC Desire is one of the latest high end phone by HTC bringing a huge 3.7" inch high quality AMOLED screen for crystal clear viewing, powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and runs on, you guessed it, Android.
