Watch Divx on a DVD Player?

[ck2k01]

Hey i was wondering if theres a format I can convert divx to so it will play in my dvd player. I have a dvd burned but no dvds so if there is a format to convert too... will the player recognize the cds?

mpeg with TMPGEnc

burn to vcd or svcd with nero :rolleyes:

Personally I like kvcd for my own collection if I dont want to do a dvd.

You can do (S)VCD's on CD's. An SVCD would look ok, VCD is like VHS quality. You would know if your DVD supported playing DivX content Out-of-box. So you need to convert it to a format your DVD player can read. Almost all will read VCD's, some will do SVCD's.

how would i convert to vcd?

you could always get the kiss dvd player that plays divx cds....

If you are going to do much of this it would be more expensive in the long run than buying for example an XBox and mod it or Kiss DVD player, also if you convert lossy videos to other lossy format the resaults are horrible.

Go to Target and spend $60-$70 on a new DVD player. They carry a number of models that can play DivX right out of the box. There were a couple for like $60 that were pretty nice, really thin. What is this Kiss player? Never heard of that company. Sony, Panasonic, Philips, JVC, Apex... all of the major DVD manufacturers have models that play DivX now.

ok.. well I have just been to target and found a big fat 0 to all the dvd players that can play divx.

Hows about a link to actually confirm that you are not tripping, please? :D

Since you are in the UK:

It's about half the way down. ?80 for a DiVX one.

BTW I have never seen a 'big brand' DVD player play DiVX...

Well, since Target is a department store, it probably depends on your location, but I was just there yesterday and saw a silver Panasonic DVD player that plays DivX. It was really thin and sleek, but I don't remember the model number or anything. Maybe it's on their site, I'll check and see if it is. I also saw at least 3 other players that played DivX as well, from other companies. If it is not, that does not mean I'm lying, for God's sake. Why the hell would I make this up? It's silly to assume that.

[Rivers]

and who said you were lying?

I am in the uk and cant get to a target store.

I was looking at the website which didnt have any divx players.

I just found it hard to believe it was possible to get one for such a low price.. but aldo proved me wrong lol. :happy:

[grid001]

anyone know if there is a target store in Canada?

or can supply the address to the site?

thanks in advance

This is the one I have, and I couldn't be happier with it. Not only can it play anything I throw at it (Divx4/5, Xvid2/3/4, 3ivx, ffmpeg, etc. etc.) but the build quality is top-notch as well. The tray slides smoothly and quietly, and it feels rock solid. Also the sound quality on CDs is pretty impressive, it outperforms my ?150 Kenwood Cd player easily, and delivers really crisp sound to my AV amp. Oh, and it has all the audio outputs you'll ever need - digital optical out, digital coax out, standard phono out, and Dolby 5.1 surround direct analogue out. The best piece of electronic equipment I have ever bought(Y))
