    I have tons of movies currently saved on CD-R as DivX. What is the EASIEST way to burn them on a DVD-R so I can watch them on my DVD player...???

    thanks! it sure will help a lot!

    Questions...

    1) Does it handle subtitles as well?
    2) This maybe a bit dumb, but what exactly do you do after you press the button "Convert"? I mean, how do you burn all that onto a DVD? How do you do it with Nero, for instance?

    If the subtitles are already there yes it will copy them. If not no it wont create subtitles for you. To burn the files after converting there is a guide at my website (link in sig) that shows you exactly how to do that :)

    Hey bbmayo...
    As I stated earlier, I used the DivXtoDVD converter you requested on a small DivX file and it worked. I tried one of my full length DivX movies(694mb)and it seemed like it only converted about 20% of it. Can you only convert small DivX files with this???

    I have over 30G of free space on my HDrive. Its weird...I have the source file loaded and I hit convert...The time remaining shows 1hr. About 10 minutes later it says covert complete...but the time remaining still says 1hr and only half of the movie was converted??????

    in response to bbmayo....
    I tried another movie yesterday and it backed up the entire file...This other DivX must have been a bad file or something. I will keep trying.....So...This is the easiest way to convert DivX movies to DVD-R?????????

    What could be easier then loading your file, and hitting convert?

    Really thats why I love the proggy its easy it works good and best of all its free!! Just a little note though get the newest version now because this version is the last one that will be freeware so get it now and save it someplace special.. :)
