Yes, the name XviD is DivX read backwards, but basically it's just a cool name ;-) Nonetheless the reversed name may also reflect the will to mark the ethical differences between DivX and XviD:

DivX is proprietary software, with an opaque development cycle that follows only a commercial logic. XviD is Free Software (licensed under the GNU GPL), open to third-party contributions and aims for standard's compliance, portability and interoperability, high processing speed and superior quality.

Do we just have to burn our xvid's as normal data file onto cd-r for a standalone dvd player (that can read xvid ofcourse) to be able to read?

What's the best software to make Xvids & DivX?
