Apple's iPhone 5/iPhone 4S is great for watching video, but it doesn't support various formats like DivX or XviD. So when I got my iPhone 4S a few weeks ago I hunted around for an app that would convert DivX/XviD videos for my iPhone 4S/iPhone 5. There were a few to choose from, but eventually my money went to iFunia iPhone Video Converter for Mac.
What is DivX/XviD? Can iPhone play DivX/XviD natively?
Both DviX and XviD are popular video codec that can compress video with a high compression rate while still keeping a good visual effect. Chances are, if you've downloaded a TV show in the last few years, it's been an XviD file. Obviously the playback of this format is high on the list of priorities for any so-called "Media Centre" - once hackers made the iPhone capable of play it, but you may also have to jailbreak your iPhone to be able to play the DIVX/XVID videos on iPhone. While jailbreaking an iOS device will allow you to play XVID/DIVX videos on iPhone, many are unsure of the process and don't want to risk the stability of their devices.
