Answer 1

Simple answer; You can't. DVD players read disks containing files in DVD format. If you don't want to convert your movies from AVI to the standard DVD format, then you cannot watch them on your DVD player. You can burn them to a DVD and watch them all day on a computer that has a DVD drive, but that is using software on the computer that you DVD player doesn't have, and probably never will.



Bottom line: If you want to watch them on your DVD player, convert them. If you don't want to convert them, then you can't watch them on your DVD player.



Is there any way to watch them on your TV? Sure! You could always hook your computer up to your TV, or buy an external Media Drive and copy all your movies to it. Media Drives are tiny computers no bigger than an external hard drive and usually come with a remote and an on screen menu



If you design a stand alone DVD player that can read the majority of video formats available, you could be a rich man, but copyrights and royalties will probably prevent it.

DivX is a brand name of products created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.), including the DivX Codec which has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality.



The DivX codec uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, where quality is balanced against file size for utility. It is one of several codecs commonly associated with "ripping", whereby audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disk and transcoded.
