    I am trying to play xvid files on my DVD Player. They play fine on my PC but stops and stutters on the DVD Player, ( I have checked the burning process and ruled this out), I was going to convert them to another format using River Past but it states they are corrupt avi files.
    Why is this? Is there any way around this and if not is there any software out there that will let me convert this to another format (not DVD too big) so I can play them on my DVD player?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you want to convert divx to other format and play on your DVD player,that maybe depend on which format your dvd player can support.
    If it can support .divx,you don't need any conversion.But if it support dvd only,maybe you must need convert to dvd.

    Thanks for the reply

    The DVD player will support DVD, xvid, Dvix, and Mpeg4. The problem is that these xvid files are reading as corrupt ( I am guessing some problem with their encoding) and will only play properly on the PC.

    I have converted some of the xvid files to dvix but I cant get a program to read all of them and convert all of them. I have managed to convert some that were not playing on the DVD player so that they will now but not others - I used DIVX CONVERTER v6.2.1

    Any ideas what is wrong and how to address it?

    Maybe can try other software to convert divx to other formats,eg.dvd.
    There so many tools can do that,also free or trial version.

    Thanks for hte replys. I dont want to change to DVD as this would take up a number of disks. One of the disks I have contains a TV series of 20 episodes so it would take up alot of space as Vob files. If I converted tovcd or svcd would it take up alot of space and if not what would I use to do so?

    Thanks again for the replys.

    use gspot on the problem avi files just to make sure they're xvid's and not something else like ogm or something. i've ran into that before
