Media Center for TomTom 2.0.0.7 Review
This is the first software on the market for playback of video content that supports all TomTom integrated portable GPS navigation devices: GO, GO 300/500/700/510/710/910, One, One New Edition and Rider (no sound output on Rider) and all TomTom accessories like Remote Control and Permanent Docking Kit.
Media Center software acts as a video and MP3 player, and allows playback of pre-converted video files.
The bundled conversion tool facilitates converting video content in various formats.
The conversion options include batch compression, video quality and size tuning, subtitles, cropping, test conversion, and default audio level boosting.
The compressed movie file can be played back from the flash memory card or from the built-in hard disk. DVD conversion is supported.
The conversion software runs under Windows OS (XP/2000/2003/Vista). The software converts video content (AVI, MPEG1, MPEG4, DivX, XVID) to MPEG4. The converted content is uploaded on TomTom devices via the USB connection or a SD card reader.
The software adds value for TomTom users who are frequent travellers, parents, businessmen.
The creative uses are converting short (music) clips, video presentations, TV-shows, video tutorials to view them on the move.
