Are DVD players that play DivX also AVI players?

Video formating , my dvd player can play AVI-divx np what about xvid?

• i have a vid conveter i can use i had a bruce lee movie that was in a AVI-divx format which i burned striaght to dvd with np and it played ! i was stunned i couldnt believe it i have been making coasters for a while now trying to figure it out lol being new to it all but my question is since finding xvid files are way more common to download with more seeders out there but once i DL the avi-xvid file to my computer im guessing i need to convert it to to divx ? the thing is when i chose the TO AVI option the first settings are (divx-xvid ) compatable is what it says . does that mean that the file will playable by my dvd player which plays avi-divx so will it play xivd too? or once i convert it to that do i need to take it another step further and again convert to (TO DVD) ? this is confusing at the least . the last time i asked this type of question i only got try this convert try that converter well they are pretty much the same and the queston would still remain so can any one please tackle this W/O suggesting a new converter please FYI. i am using AVS converter on a XP pro os thank you for your time.

• Answer:

  no, divx and xvid are different video codec, your DVD player can play avi videos with divx encoder, but cann't play avi videos with xvid encoder, i think the better choice is make the standard video DVD from the movies, you can try RZ DVD Creator, it is a software, i have used it, it can create standard video DVD, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL, DVD+DL, etc), such as avi to DVD, xvid to DVD, divx to DVD, etc. Offer the better quality. Work well on my computer, i like it, and i believe that once you try it, you will like it too. Following is a step by step guide: http://www.rzfun.com/convert-avi-to-dvd.html Hope it can help you.
