Stupid question of the week.

After downloading AVI movies, is there any reason to convert them to DIVX to play on my DIVX-compatible home player? Someone said the video and audio are clearer, but can't see much difference.

Not all downloads are DivX, some might be XviD and (although they are to all intents the same) some DivX players won't play files that carry the XviD flag.
That's why some users have to use the '4CC changer'.
It renames the reference to the codec that was actually used to something else (saves re-compressing the video, which causes loss of quality).

Not what I meant. My DivX player plays burned AVI files fine, but someone told me if I converted the AVI's to DivX (using one of the DivX converters) that the quality would be better than reading AVI.

Just wondering if this is true - or should I just keep burning AVI movies and leave it alone.
