So does this mean that`s it`s a one off or is it gonna be happening more and more.Is best just to re-encode it to divx.And if so what`s the best software to use.???
i dunno if it'll gain popularity. the option has been available for quite a while (more than a year? maybe two years?) and it's still used very rarely, as far as i know.

if you want to re-encode to divx or xvid, i recommend VirtualDub. you'd want to use "full processing" for the video, and "direct stream" for the audio since the sound most likely does not need to be re-encoded. if you make a new file and the unaltered audio has problems, then you should re-process your new file with the video set to direct stream and the audio set to full processing... this'll save you the trouble of encoding the video all over again.

if you want to make a VCD, SVCD or DVD, try TmpgEnc.

you can find helpful step-by-step encoding guides at http://www.videohelp.com/ and http://www.doom9.net/.
