I am new to the site, and I have a problem I really hope someone can help me with. I am new to a lot of words dealing with encoding so I hope you all do not mind my ignorance.

I went to a site called gamelink.com and I did bought the divx downloads for the movies that I wanted. I created my account with Divx.com, but I do not have a certified divx player. I have a NEC 3520A DVD burner as my burner. As per the instructions on Divx.com I made my account with Divx.com and downloaded the movies onto my hard drive like it told me to. Everytime I click on a movie to watch it, the divx player (I have divx player 6) says it is verifying to divx.com for my download. To clear things up, I did a rental of Video on Demand where you can download movies in divx format to your hard drive for seven days and then the file becomes inactive after then. I just got the movies Saturday morning. I have used the sample version of Divx2DVD download from download.com and that worked horribly, it came out with nothing but small boxes. I have been doing research all day since yesterday, and I do not know what to do. I am trying to find a way I can actually burn these movies to a dvd and play them in my dvd player. If this helps, I have Nero 6.6 Ultra Edition with Nero Vision Express and Nero Recode on it. I spoke with the guy from gamelink and hetold me I should be able to burn these movies, he said he has seen and heard people do it, but he does not know how to. Please tell me what software I need and what I need to do. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Well if these DivX Files only work for a week then it means that these Files have some sort of DRM Protection in them...

As you stated when you Try to play one of these Files the DivX Player Connects to the Internet and gets Verification from DivX.com that the Files License is still Valid and then starts Playing the Movie....

Now here is were the Problem is...Video encodeing Software doesn"t have the Option to Connect to the Internet to see if the Lisence is still valid it will Just automaticly try to decode the File but without the Lisence Verification the file Can not be decoded which in Turn means that the File can not be Encoded.....

I have Heard of This Problem many Times from Poeple who thought if they get an account at one of those Movie download sites they could Just Burn the Movies to DVD and Have them forever instead of the week that the Lisence is for but most if not all were Poorly mistaken and very disapointed....
Some of these Sites will even say that you can Save the files and watrch them whenever you want but they don"t tell you that you have to buy a New Lisence and that the Files are Impossible to convert to another format.....

You are Pretty Much SOL (Sh*t Out Of Luck) unless you know something that I don"t in which case I would Love to know....

You are Better off Just renting the Movies you like on DVD and copying them as it is easy and the quality is very good....

Good luck
