Hoary, DVD to DivX (or XVid)...

[Andrea Giuliano]

Do you mean that I just would have to write the DivX file on the CD, as I just 
would do with MP3 files?

That would be the last phase, but if I got VLC to output a DivX file, I'd be on 
the right way.

Nevertheless, I guess it depends on the DivX player, too. I have a LG 
multi-format player, quite recent, and it's said to be DivX compatible. At 
present I don't remember what version of DivX it supports, I'll check it (I'm 
not home, at present).

Best regards.
