    Well if it is just a regular DVD player then that means DVD video, which means that you are limited to MPEG1/2.

    Encoding won't uninstall DivX. If you mean will your file still be DivX, then no. DivX is MPEG-4 and generally in an avi/divx container. When you convert to DVD video format, you end up with MPEG1/2 in VOB's.
