Converting Xvid to Divx

[wedge22]

How do I go about conerting these files as my new DVD player will only play Divx correctly and it loses sync on Xvid files.

[directhex]

any specific version of the divx codec?

and this will really butcher the video quality in ways unknown to mortal men

Xvid is suppose to be more compatible than Divx.

I suspect the xvid file is encoded using qpel or gmc, or the player simply doesn't like VBR MP3 stream (more likely)?

Try virtualdub to re-encode, extract the audio track, convert it to CBR then add it back to the xvid file and direct stream copy.

I think you may be right arthurleung but how do I do all of those things?

HI, that aint a Pioneer DivX DVD player u got is it?
My current divx player has packed in for some reason and looking to get a Pioneer DV393 pretty soon, although if it dont support xvid I wont bother as most(if not all) of my stuff is xvid.
