Play DivX flicks on a TV DVD player?

[Mr. Switch]

Does anyone know how i can get some of my DivX movies and burn them onto a DVD so they can play on my TV? I know that i can't just copy the mpeg stright over, so what would i need to do?

if your DVD player is DIVX enabled, you just place the MPG file right on a CD-R, and it will be DVD quality.

I have never tried burning DIVX's onto DVD, you can try doing that...


- Your DVD player has to be DIVX compatible to work with DIVX -

i'm pretty sure it isn't, so i'd need to convert it..

Most of the crappy Wal-Mart brand players can play anything you throw at them...including DIVX.

But i would recommend converting it to an AVI file, so you dont have to take chances with a DVD.

I use ULEAD DVD FACTORY. Early version of this program was cr@p. Any version after 3.5 or 4 is good.

It's rather user freindly. However it can take up to 12 hours to burn one disk.

Winavi 7 seems to work well and only takes like an out on a good pc (even with transcoding). I used to be a person who would use ffmpeg, dvd author, mjpegtools and a bunch of other stuff to make a dvd. It would take hours. Winavi only takes about 1 and is pretty good quaility.

I tried using Nero to make an image of a VCD, but whenever i drop the flick onto the image, it says taht its over 750MB even if the actual avi is about 550MB. When i go to burn it, it takes forever for it to do anything.

after i would make the image i was thinking of using alcohol 120% to burn the image onto a DVD or CD because for some odd reason (even after reformatting) Nero won't see my DVD burner at all, Roxio will only see my DVD Burner as a CD burner, and Alcohol 120% is the only thing that will burn DVD's, but it only handles images. My DVD burner doesn't come with drivers because the windows drivers should work fine. I really have no idea why my DVD burner won't work.

Is ULEAD DVD factory free? if it is, i'll try it. what about winavi?

ULead DVD factory is a trial.

No. However you can get 14 day trials of the software.

Most video card with TV IN comes with a version of this software.
