Question about DivX players
 

If I can watch something on DivX Player on my pc, would I be able to burn it to a cd as it is (no converting), and then watch it on a standalone machine that supports DivX?
I understand they are reasonably priced?
Any suggestions please?

Yes that should work perfectly fine.

That was nice and quick, thank you :)

Many players are divx certified so as long as you use a proper divx codec then you should be fine.

Personally I use a 5 year old Kiss 500 player that can play divx (as well as other formats) either on disk or streamed over it's ethernet connection, some of the later players will even stream over wireless ;)

i don't know if it's still an issue, but I know few year sago, if they had been encoded "Packed bitstream" they would play back jerky on some files. but if you used mpeg modifier http://moitah.net/ on the file (on your pc0 it would convert it to non packed bitstream so would play on my divx/xvid standalone players without problem.

my divx player is cheap ~£30 from lidl a few years ago, and it does a great job.

my sitser in law has a LG DVD/hard drive recorder and she says that plays divx xvid files fine to.

I find DrDivX is a free and easy convertor that I use on certain XVIDs that don;t seem to want to play. Just set up a watch folder so anything dropped into it automatically gets converted
