Hi. I recently saw in Nero, during burning a data DVD, the option:

AVI files
Replace the FourCC code 'Xvid' with 'DivX' to make the file DivX compatible

What does it mean? Does it mean that, if I burn a data CD with an AVI file inside it by having this option selected, my DVD player (able to watch DivX files) will be able to watch a data disk containing a XviD AVI file as if it were a DivX file?

Thanks. A reply of yours will save me the time to write a CD-RW....

Didn't know that Nero had this feature built in. Basically you answered you own question. So yes before Nero goes through the burning process of burning a data CD, it changes the AVI FourCC header from XVID (XviD) to DX50 (DivX) so that it can be played on your standalone DVD player that is DivX certified. It's tricking the DVD playing into thinking it's DivX when really it's not.

I posted awhile back the manual way of changing a FourCC in an AVI file along with some explanation. If you're interested, you can read here.

It wouldn't hurt to try a CD-R since they're cheap these days. Hope that helped you out.

No one did know, since in the 'Nero forum' I needed to three-four days to have a reply.

Ok, I'll tray, thanks!
