hi , i want to know about DIVX compatible dvd players , what actually is this , does avi files burned on a dvd as data dvd be played on divx compatile dvd player ?
A DivX file uses MPEG-4 compression If the player is DivX compatible and the file is a DivX file, yes the file can be written to a DVD data disk. The player may stipulate a requirement that the resolution of the DivX file not exceed 720x576. If subtitles are available in .srt format (they must have the same name as the video file, example 'myfile.avi 'myfile.srt) then you can also include them on the disk and use the remote to display them. XviD files (generally) will also play back in the DivX player. Search for DivX compatible players, here. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers
I've read somewhere that a lot of Divx players will only play Divx on CD media. You'd do well to check the brand's spec page before purchasing.
Mine is a samsung,i can't remember the model though but it does play avi files stored on data dvds as well as on cds.I've heard that Philips DivX players are very good ones.
