Hi 275gemini
Pick the Data cd option instead of video cd.
Does you're standalone support DivX/Avi playback? If not you'll need to use NeroVision to convert it to a dvd compliant format and burn it to DVD to play.
Dont think it does, i just assumed that by selecting the vcd option that my dvd player would then be able to play it. (excuse my lack of knowledge).
Can I convert it to a dvd compliant format and burn it to DVD to play by using Nero StartSmart? thought I would ask before I progress with nero vision.
If so, how do i go about it?
May I ask how long converting it to a dvd compliant format and burning it to DVD takes? as picking the Data cd option and purchasing a dvd player that supports DivX may be a better option for me and less time consuming.
Hmmm depending on your pc specs I'd say roughly 1.5 - 2 hrs. Now burning it as a data dvd or cd - 5 minutes :)
So a dvd player that supports DivX might be a better option for you. They're pretty cheap now.
But yes it would need to be converted using something like Vision - the video cd option won't work on the player unless it supports DivX.
In SmartStart go to 'create and edit' at the top then pick 'author,edit and capture video'. This will open Vision.
Here's a guide for Nero 7 - it's similar for Nero 8 - link
Those new players that say support divx will play a dvd with 6 .avi's or .divx's? I have like 5 old dvds loaded with dvix/avi's and only one player in our house(which isnt mine) can play data discs.
@275gemini
You're welcome.
Post back if you need any further help.

They should - I had a Philips that pretty much played anything I threw at - even dvd's with several avi's on it - though w/o having a menu fast forward is the only option.

Yes, if you buy a DVD player that support Divx playback, it will play your Divx movies burned as data on a DVD.
