    gordian knot works well for me (AutoGK is a simple-to-use variant, I believe).

    I would compress to XviD rather than DivX though, as it's open source, generally a step ahead in quality etc etc.

    Are there any programs that are literally "one click"... or a few clicks where you select the options (like AC3 sound or 2ch sound, resolution of video, etc) and click "go" and it does the rest totally automatically (albeit taking a few hours)?

    Can these programs mentioned go the other way round eg DivX etc. to DVD. Was thinking of putting a few documentries I downloaded on DVD, at the moment I always watch them on the comp.

    does what it says on the tin tbh...you can set up the options and stuff, or just leave 90% of it and just click start or whatever. I have found it to be very good.
    I think this is an excellent solution for what you want.
