I noticed that most movie released are within 700-730Mb range. They are mostly XviD encoded.


Are there players for TVs that play XviD encoded content? Do you need to convert them in any way?

Most of the time I see DivX players, but not XviD...


Does PS3 play XviD?

Odd.. my friend has an AVI player and none of XviD videos work ...


I just place the video file on a CD by itself and the player says "Bad".

Are there any special instructions?

Maybe an old version of the codec? On a frieds dvd player every movie works just fine.

my expensive dvd player in the main sitting room wont even play normal divx Rolling Eyes , the cheap shit £20 dvd player in my bedroom has played every xvid i tried Laughing

on my dvd player i can just drop a xvid video onto a cd without needing to do anything , when i stick it inside the dvd player i get a little window popup showing whats on the disc then i just have to use the arrow keys and hit select on the file i want.

Look for a firmware update or codec update for the player it self then you should be able to play xvids.

Seems the expense in expensive players is paying for the time and work to make sure you cant play burnt media. Aphex FTW

Doesn't play x264 = shit media center Razz

But to answer the original poster's question, there isn't that much of a difference between Divx and Xvid, and scene releases are encoded with such players in mind. If the players says it supports Divx, it probably supports Xvid. If it doesn't a simple update should be enough (most of those players have usb connection on them just for that).
