    Are you sure you are talking about xvid and divx because you posted a link on how to burn vcd and svcd and isn't it 80 min with a vcd because i've got 700MB xvid files which are over 2 hours long and could fit on one cd.

    I'm sorry but i'm very confused

    xvid is a AVI file isn't it so why would i use nero SVCD burning to burn it as an svcd is MPEG-2 format

    I just wanna burn my XVID movie to a cd and watch it on my XVID dvd player

    Then use Ulead Movie Factory 4, there is a free trial available and they have a "create divx/xvid DVD" option.

    XviD/DivX:

    If you wish to burn your XviD movie to a CD to play on a DVD Player that supports avi files encoded in the XviD or DivX formats, then simply burn your avi to CD using a burning tool like Nero Burning Rom.

    Burn it as if you were burning a regular file onto a CD. That's it.

    If you want to make your video more compatible with other players, what the other user here meant was converting your movie to SVCD or VCD, which can be played on many DVD players. Or, converting it to a DVD-Movie itself.

    XviD != avi.
    XviD is an MPEG-4 video codec.
    avi is an AV container.
    Some standalones support the mp4 container, so in such a case you could have an XviD avi or an XviD mp4.

    1) Depends how low a bitrate you want to use.
    2) Start an ISO data comp (some players don't like UDF), drag your file over and burn.
    3) You can burn anything that you want to a DVD. But to take the question in context, yes most if not all players support playback from DVD. Refer to my above point about UDF though.

    No such thing really either as an XviD player. XviD offer not certification programme and no current players fully support XviD since none fully support ASP @ L5. Also none support XviD in all possible containers (ogm, avi, mp4, mkv, dsm, nut, etc.)
