Need to reencode XviD to be playable on stand alone player

I like to play my XviD's on muy stand alone player (Yamaha s550)
Now I have some XviD that isn't playable on my player because they include consequtive B-VOPS and "packed bit streams" and my player only support one B-VOP without "packed bit streams". I only have the XviD file not the original. I found a tool to unpack the bitstream (MPEG4 Modifier). But I am still stuck with 2 consequtive B-VOPs.
Is there a simple way to reencode this without loosing any quality.

It depends on the starting quality you don't want to lose. How big is the movie? 1.5 GB? 800 MB?
Even a VCD might be enough (and simpler to make), a SVCD of even a DVD could be made (it depends. Garbage in = garbage out).
Therefore you need to re-encode your AVI movie compressed with the Xvid codec into mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 form (a .MPG).

Go to another forum (http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/40) and read http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/110106 for VCDs, http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd2svcd_with_tmpgenc.cfm from SVCD (from the FitCD part, since you aren't ripping a DVD) or http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm for a DVD (99% doing this is useless).

It's a part of a TV series, 350 Mb for 40 minutes, and I would like to have several episodes on one DVD, to save them for later watching. Older episodes work well because they are encoded without B-VOPs, haven't tested if my player supports multiple (S)VCD on a DVD.

You sure that the unpacked file won't play? Shouldn't matter if it has 2 consecutive b-vops.

As for re-encoding if you encode with XviD or DivX with the home theatre profile enabled it should play fine. One advantage of this over (S)VCD is that you don't have to re-encode the audio. Athough I guess you could use the mp3 audio in your mpg. Should play fine. Also your player most likely supports raw mpg's. So you can simply burn the mpg's to DVD as you would with the avi's.

First, I'm not shure about anything, but I used MPEG4 Modifier to remove the "packed bit streams" and it didn't play. I have also found a comment on www.videohelp.com that says that the s550 can't handle "packed bit streams" and more than one b-vop.
I have tried to reencode in (s)vcd, it works well as long it is a video CD, if i put it on a DVD I get problem with the audio (no audio).
I guess I have to reencode with DivX or Xvid.
I suppose next by will a Multimedia PC

What that means is that
1 b-vop & packed bitstream = ok
2 b-vop & packed bitstream != ok
2 b-vop & no packed bitstream = ok
not that
2 b-vop != ok
packed bitstream != ok.
