Thanks - I've since discovered that I can just burn MPEG files direct to CD/DVD and play those on my DVD player, my DVD player dopesn't support DivX files and they need to be re-encoded which takes time and has a significant quality loss. Keeping them in MPEG format means I can use them on all devices I currently have incuding my PDA.
