Try e.g. Power Video Converter or Advanced X Video Converter. Short of codecs? Look here:

Good luck!

New XviD format? XviD is just a video codec, not a format and it has always (few bugs causing exceptions) produced ASP MPEG-4 ISO compliant streams.

You mean that it only supports DivX 3? I seem to recall reading about a Sony DivX/avi player that didn't support XviD's FourCC. Pretty sure that it was fixed with a firmware update though.

Anyway if it supports DivX 5/6 then you can simply change the FourCC from XviD to DX50.

You can't really change it to older DivX (if you mean 3). DivX3.11alpha was not MPEG-4 compliant, therefor DIV3/DIV4 and XviD are not interchangable. If your XviD is SP (Simply Profile) only then you could use the FourCC DivX which is for DivX 4.x/OpenDivX which was SP only.

I don't even know what model, so check the manual or search for the model number.

If you have Koepi's XviD binary installed then you have a util for changing the FourCC. Otherwise search for a FourCC changer.

To qualify older DivX.
First there was DivX 3.11alpha. This was just a hacked version of MS MPEG4 V3, which despite the name was not MPEG-4 compliant.

The same people started project mayo and opensource project which produced opendivx. The licensing however allowed them to shut the project down, close the source and release DivX 4.

Some people weren't happy, so they took the open DivX source and started the XviD project. So basically XviD is as old as DivX 4 and older than 5.x.

Since then DivX networks have released DivX 5.x and 6. XviD has continued to grow and for a long time now has contained none of the original opendivx code.

If something can decode DivX 5.x/6.x then it can decode XviD.
