    Assuming the source files are XviD/DivX, the best bet would be to burn the files, as data, to a CD or DVD and play them on a DivX compatible standalone unit.
    If the player is not DivX certified, then converting to DVD movie format with the likes of DVD Flick is an option.
    DVD Flick will also burn the disk (if required).

    Another option in addition to attar's advice, would be AVStoDVD.

    My 2 cents is after conversion is to burn to dvd with Imgburn
