Apparently the Divx player is better, you can get if from here, but will have to sign up first (costs nothing, just set up a user account).

They're basically both the same software. I convert with the smartmovie software and play it on the divx player- but I think it's pretty much the same software... looks like smartmovie player is actually missing a couple of options- though it looks almost identical.
The divx player plays full size divx files like junk. Perhaps the
N95 isn't powerful enough to play divx files of any large size. A 300-400 mb one hour show will start to break up after a couple minutes, and loses A/V sync almost instantly. When converted with smartmovie to a file around 80 mb, the picture looks pretty good, and there are no sync issues. I think it's the processing power of the
N95. Doesn't divx require about 350mhz processor anyway for decent playback? Seems like I remember that back in the infancy of divx when it was normal to come across a pc that didn't have that much power.
