I think they should play, but I've never actually used a divx player. Drop your video file into GSpot and see what it says there.
When I make dvds I usually use a program called ConvertXtoDVD. It's not free, but it's a really great piece of software in my opinion. That isn't going to make it a divx thing though. It takes whatever you put in, (it recognizes most codecs and containers), and just converts it to a standard dvd compatible mpeg2. I don't know if that will work on a pure divx player, (do they make those anymore?), but if it's a divx compatible DVD player it should work.

Yeah, I did it uncompressed at first. Earlier today I tried it with xvid codec though, and it was a bit smaller but the quality was horrifying for some reason. I was halfway through divx codec when I got fed up with the rendering process (since I can't do anything else on my comp while it's rendering.. and it takes 2 hours =.=). I just tried the codec thing but I'm not sure what I'm looking for? o:
But I did look at the ConvertXProgram. I read that it'll have a watermark on it if I'm using the trial version and I have yet....... to find a way around that /cough. But I guess I'll have to try that program cos I read somewhere that it's good.
Thanks for the help, JT/Pritcher!
