By Shamila Janakiraman, TMCnet Contributing Editor

LG Electronics (News - Alert), Inc. and DivX, Inc. have announced that the LG Viewty camera phone model number LG-KU990 will be the first mobile phone to have DivX Certification to record video in the DivX format.




The LG Viewty mobile phone with camera will be capable of capturing high-resolution video which matches the video quality recorded in video cameras.

DivX specializes in creating, distributing and licensing digital video technologies suitable for the PC, television and mobile devices.

DivX videos recorded on the LG Viewty can be uploaded to online video sites as well as be played back on DivX Certified consumer electronics devices like DVD players, gaming consoles and portable media players.

Dr. Skott Ahn, at LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company said, “Users of the LG Viewty have come to expect innovation and quality. The addition of DivX recording capability to the Viewty will open up the media experience and enable our users to do more with the videos they capture, from sharing that content online to playing it back beyond the phone on a wide variety of devices.”

Kevin Hell, CEO at DivX, Inc. pointed out that it was his company’s goal to enable consumers to enjoy high-quality video on any type of device.

Hell added, “The LG Viewty is a perfect example of this experience. It allows consumers to capture video on its 3-inch screen and then easily transfer that video to a computer or virtually any kind of consumer electronics device.”

The LG Viewty includes advanced features like 5.0 mega-pixel camera with still image capture, manual focus and image stabilizer. It also features handwriting recognition for photo editing, a document viewer besides voice recording and 120 fps 640 x 480-pixel DivX video encoding said the companies.
