Got it sorted, install the XVid Codec from here http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html and there is a little program called AviC (FourCC Changer). Open the Xvid .avi file in this and change the 2 settings to Divx and burn in Nero, all the right way round, happy shopper!!!! Thank you and goodnight. Damo
That codec also works for DVD2SVCD when you have problems opening xvid files, but did you notice anything weird about playback??
