Standalone DVD-players that support divX and XviD

Hello!

I've read a few of the excellent tutorials here at DVDRBase.com but I haven't found one that takes new standalone DVD-players that support divX and XviD into consideration regarding burning dvdmedia. For example, http://www.nordichardware.com/reviews/Multimedia/2003/Neuston/ .
I don't know much about burning DVDs but somehow I imagine the support for divX and XviD in DVD-players would make the conversion-burning process less demanding if you're already an owner of an divX or XviD .avi file.

I have a few questions. If these questions already have been answered elsewhere, I would greatly appreciate some helpful directions to where I could find those threads.

1. I've read ChickenMans excellent tutorial "How to convert your DivX's to DVD±R". What would be different in that tutorial given that one only is to play the DVDmedia on a DVD-player that supports divX and XviD such as the Neuston Maestro and does not want to create (S)VCDs? For example, would one still have to convert the .avi file to a MPEG-2 file? Would one still have to separate the audio? I guess one still would have to create the *.VOB, *.IFO and *.BUP files but would their size still be as great?

2. Does the process of "How to convert your DivX's to DVDR" become less extensive given that the DVD-player you only intend to play your created DVDs on supports XviD and DivX? And if so, how?

So your saying I just have to burn the .avi as data on the dvdr and then it should be fine to play on the standalone?

There is only one afaik player which will play divx(standalone)..-Kiss player,but i dont know if will play xvid....Still,even if it doez,there is so many audio-video codecs outhere.........My advice is to have a good video card with tv out and connect it with a cable to tv-(s-video out)-easiest and simplest-cheapest solution-and with work with all codecs-now..future too :D

I have the Liteon LVD-2001 that plays DIVX/XVID. Nothing could be easier. Just burn the .AVI's to ISO CDR's or DVDR's. Insert them in the player. And play them.

A word of warning though. I always do two things to my DIVX files before I burn them.

1) Use GSPOT and check for 3.11 DIVX files. These can give players fits since they can be relatively non-standard. I tend to convert these to DIVX 5.05.

2) Run VideoFixer (or use VirtualDub) and make sure that the DIVX is not corrupt (freezes). If so, fix it.

Other than that... very easy stuff.
