PocketDivXEncoder is a mobile video encoder that allows you to convert files to a mobile format and optimize them for viewing on your device.

PocketDivXEncoder is one file that you can move to your cell phone or tablet easily and run without installing. It is designed to allow for simple conversion and encoding of any video files that you happen to have so that you can use them easily on your mobile device. The conversion and encoding utility supports popular file formats like AVI, MPEG-1 through MPEG-4, MP3 and OGM. PocketDivxEncoder is built to be easy to use directly from a mobile device to allow for file conversion on the go.

The PocketDivXEncoder tool comes with a few good options for optimizing video for use with a mobile device. It offers compression choices, audio improvements, and encoding options. The program even comes with a resizing tool that can be used to change the size of the video being converted while the conversion is still taking place. While the PocketDivXEncoder application does not have as many features as most desktop tools or professional programs, it has some useful features and everything necessary for handling mobile conversion on the go.

The video that PocketDivXEncoder produces is good enough to handle use on mobile devices without a hassle. Some users report a very small color shift between the original image and the converted image. Some also report a tiny audio-video sync shift that would not be present with a professional-quality tool. While these issues may be technically present, they are small enough that most users will not have an issue.

For a free tool, PocketDivXEncoder offers unparalleled performance that gives users everything that they need to play videos on a mobile device. The program's easy-to-use interface and highly portable structure make the process of adding optimized video to a mobile device simple. Anyone interested in converting video files into something that they can watch on a cell phone or tablet will get what they need from PocketDivXEncoder.
