About Xvid players, I don't know them sorry. About 'xvid to avi' I cannot understand the question. A "Xvid movie" is an [bold]AVI file encoded using the Xvid codec for the video compression[/bold] , nothing more.
Not all XviD files are avi's. XviD is just a video codec and it can be used in numerous containers only one of which is avi. You can also have a raw stream. Some other containers that can handle XviD: mkv, mp4, ogm, nut, nsv and dsm.
i think you will find that the question was how to convert an xvid to avi!!!!!!!(apologies aldaco12 ) heres a link http://www.tomdownload.com/multimedia_design/video/index7.htm @ Bob63 : WHAT did you wish to achieve.Is it not better to use a tool like vso divx to dvd to convert your file to a dvd movie file then burn it to dvd so that you can watch it on your standalone instead of changing it into another form of avi.
I have " unleashed ", which is in "Bin" format, and " Kingdom of Heaven ", which is in "AVI" format, but I can't play it in windows media player or divx or realone. I have to use a play called VLC media player to play both. I want to watch these moives on my xbox media player. If the "AVI" format movie has a codec problem on windows media player, will it still work on the xbox media player?
I would suggest that you go to the microsoft site and upgrade your windows media player and try and then if the file doesnt play ,in the folder options in the control planel create an association so that the file will play The raw avi will not play on your xbox unless you convert it to an mpeg2 format which in essence is the format for dvd so that your discs will play on standalone dvd players.Your best bet is to convert the avi to a dvd movie file using vso divx to dvd,then use your burning software to put it on disc.
XBMC being based on mplayer should support pretty much everything that VLC does, plus more. DVD menus are about the only thing that VLC can do and mplayer can't.
