Thanks
Not sure about these formats. MPEG2 works great.
It might be cheaper to burn the files to a CD or DVD media and play them in any DVD player with DivX support.
Burn to rewritable media so that you won't have a big stack, unless you want to keep them as backup.
Surely you have a standalone DVD player? They are dead cheap nowadays.
