Blackberry have always been known as a great business phone, particularly due to the email push facility on the phone.

However, with continued updates and push into the personal sector with of the Pearl, Curve and 8800 series, Blackberry phones can now play video files.

Version 5.1 of the Pocket DVD Wizard adds support for the Blackberry Pearl, Curve and 8800 series handsets and lets you use your computer to make backup copies of your DVDs, Mpeg, Avi and DivX® video and then play them on your phone.

It is now possible to convert a DVD for your Blackberry and watch in in the office, on the plane, or indeed anywhere you have some time to kill!

Tried and tested...

When you buy the Pocket DVD Wizard you are buying what we consider to the very best because it has been tried and tested on the Blackberry and the other devices we support (we do not just work from 'technical specifications').

You do not need to learn about different video formats, codecs or bit rates, screens that vary in size and brightness or the audio capabilities of your device, we have already done that for you. You simply select the device you want to convert the DVD to (for example 'Blackberry Curve' from the drop down box using the Wizard step by step interface. Its easy because its been designed that way.

We are adding support for new devices all the time. As upgrades to the latest version are free, if in six months time you buy a new media player for your kids or upgrade your phone, you won't need to buy new video conversion software for it. If there is a device you would like us to support, please let us know and we will see what we can do.

The trial version allows you to convert 5 minutes of DVD video free so you can see just how easy the software is to use, and just how good the results are on the Blackberry.

Why not give it a test drive now?

Please note: At present the Blackberry on Verizon appears to have a custom firmware on certain Blackberrys and may not play back the video files. We are looking into this issue at present. We have no other reports of problems with other networks, we recommend you use the trial version to see how the software works so you can be sure it will work with your Blackberry.
