DivX files used MPEG-4 Part 2 inside AVI containers — a combination that modern Android devices can partially support but often struggle with. The Android Video preset re-encodes to H.264 at 720p with AAC audio in an MP4 container, the combination that every Android device's hardware decoder is optimized for. This brings DivX-era content into the native Android playback pipeline with full hardware acceleration, battery efficiency, and OS integration.

While some Android devices can software-decode DivX AVI files through VLC or MX Player, this bypasses the hardware decoder, draining battery 3-5x faster and causing frame drops on complex scenes. The Android Video preset targets the hardware H.264 decoder present in every Android SoC (Snapdragon, MediaTek, Exynos, Tensor), ensuring smooth, efficient playback through the native Gallery or Google Photos video player.

The DivX AVI container is demuxed, extracting the MPEG-4 Part 2 video and MP3/AC3 audio. Video is transcoded to H.264 Main Profile at 1280x720 with a CRF-based quality target (typically 2-4 Mbps). Audio is re-encoded to AAC-LC at 128 kbps stereo. The MP4 container is written with the moov atom first (faststart) for immediate playback.

At the same resolution, H.264 typically looks cleaner than MPEG-4 Part 2 (DivX) at equivalent file sizes. However, transcoding from a lossy source cannot add detail — it can only preserve or slightly degrade what exists.

Some Android devices can decode MPEG-4 Part 2 (DivX) but playback is inconsistent — some models support it, others do not. H.264 MP4 is universally supported by all Android devices.

At 720p, the H.264 file is typically similar in size to the DivX original or slightly smaller, since H.264 is more compression-efficient. A 700 MB DivX CD-rip might become 500-700 MB.

Yes. Upload multiple DivX files and they will be converted sequentially using the same Android Video preset settings.

External SRT subtitle files commonly used with DivX can be hardcoded (burned in) during conversion. Soft subtitles can be added as a separate MP4 text track.
