If you have tv-out on your computer you can buy a scart-cable and watch the movie on tv through the computer..

Looks like it will take a long time though, and you need 4 or 5 programs to do it.
Good Luck

some new dvd players will now support DivX but its difficult to find them but if u do have just burning on to a cd as a normal data file should work if not it takes a load of messing about and time to do it.It doesn't always work either i found.

If you have NERO Version 5, use the VCD option and it will usually (depending on your DivX file and version) convert it for you. You can then watch the VCD on your DVD player.
