My friend was recently in Germany and got the Season 2 of Lost on dvd... it is a DivX format. It can't play on regular dvd players, or in the computer. I downloaded Media Player Classic to play it on the computer and now I can, but it would be very nice to watch it in my living room and not at the computer. Would I have to rip it from the dvd onto the computer as a file and then burn it to another DVD-R or regular CD-R to play it on a regular DVD player or is there another way.
Hello. Unless you have a DVD player that plays divx, it has to be converted to make it DVD compliant. The following are commonly used programs for doing so: VSO's ConvertXtoDVD: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ DVD Copy 4 Platinum: http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/InterVideoDVDCopy_Profile.jsp TMPGEnc Express 3: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te3xp.html DVD Santa: http://www.dvdsanta.com/ The Film Machine: http://members.home.nl/thefilmmachine/ NeroVision: http://ww2.nero.com/enu/index.html All have free trials. DVD Santa and ConvertX watermake their trial version output. ConvertX is very popular.
