Divx DVD Player

[ak24]

Hi guys...
I have heard a lot about new DVD players in the market like phillips n LG who can play Divx movies. Could somone pls help me i have many divx movies on my hard drive if i copy it directly to a cd-r will i be able to play it on these DVD players or do i need a special software to convert & copy them to a cd and only then i can play them in these DVD players...

Thnxs

As simple as that. Just burn them to a CD!

@mod-the-pc: should not they be copied on to DVDs!?!

CD/DVD anything would be fine.

Do you mean to say that DivX/Xvid has a specific codec version for Europe & America? I dont think so

@joelf15.....can u plz clarify how codec versions can be different? also does ur player support xvid format?

Now could someone pls help in how 2 find the codec version /(if there r any) ?? secondly while downloading files from limewire etc. some files have an "avi" extension. does that mean those are divx files ???

There is some diff 4 sure.. whn i get a hindimovie or an indian dvd rip from the net or convert same from a dvd..it does not give the proper picture vol is fine..but all dvd rips from abroad that i download i mean all holly movs work fine..may be something to do with that region thing..[SIZE=-1]www.videohelp.com said something here abt tht..[/SIZE]

i beg to differ its got to do with the rippers (the person & the tool) .... the region thing means that a dvd of a specific region will play in drives set to tht specific region .... u can only change the region i think max 5 times after that it gets locked to the last region selected ..... so don mess around wiht the region settings of ur drive

yes its related to the tool, codec settings and audio format and not with the region
