Hi all;
Well I won't beat arond the bush so here goes.
I mainly download AVI and DIV-X movies as their short size and fairly nice quality.
I have a few now that work FINE on my PC.
No probz at all.
The thing is when I burn these to a CD and than try to play them in my X-Box or another DVD Player, they aint recognised.
Now I know that some DVD players do not play AVI or DIV-X.....but is this true for the X-Box????
What could I be doing wrong??
I used a a new later version of Nero 5.....I simply draged and dropped the Movie into the screen and than burned it to the disk.
I had no errors and it played back fine on the PC.
I do not have a DVD player ot recorder on my PC, Nor do I intend to get one soon........I want to save money by getting the AVI/DIV-X movies and playing them.
Now I would like to know what could be going wrong????
How do I get my DIV-X / AVI movies to play fine on the X-Box???? does the X-Box play these back even????
I know that my father is getting an expensive DVD recorder/player in the months ahead, and I know that this plays basiccly all formats back...including the ones I am obsessed with LOL.
Anyways is their a trick that needs doing???
I am baffled some, as I read in a PC maga' [PC MART] just that DIVX and AVI should play on most DVD players....and that the DIV-X is a special compression software sued to bring down the size of a full DVD to one that can fit onto a normal CD.
These films I have, I know their AVI and DIV-X as it says so at the end of the filename.......but is their any sofware that can tell me if it is really that??? could it not be what it says and that why it dunt play????
Thanks for any help given.
Cya soon.
