I have seen specs on DVD players that play DivX. Does this mean you can
simply burn divx to a dvd and it will play... or is there a particular way
in which they need to be authored.
Thanks for your help.. I know the topic seems almost self explanitory but I
just want to be sure before I shell out the $$
Thanks in advance,

Ask to see the manual for the player you want to buy. That will tell
you which versions of DiVX it is compatible with. I can recommend the
Toshiba 270E. It won't play anything wider than 720, but everything
else works. Sometimes you need to re-encode the audio first, probably
some VBR bug.
"It won't play anything wider than 720, but everything else works"???
Huh? What?
I know you meant it won't play HD resolutions, but that's a given
considering the model. What made me stop and grimmace was the "wider
than 720" thing. Widescreen standard definition IS 720, just like 4:3
720 - the only difference is the pixel shape.
Just like HDV isn't full HD. The resolution is 1440x1080 with a pixel
shaped so that the HDTV screens' square pixel will stretch it out to
fill it out from edge to edge - the same sort of thing the 720 0.9
pixel does on an analog TV.
Again, I know what you really meant, but other readers may not fully
understand these differences.
