HI, well topic say it mostly. My DVD player can play normal DVIX/AVI file but can't take the newest codec (ex: the h.264 codec). Is there a way to convert those avi (the one you dl from here) into a normal avi without the new codec or even to a .wmv ? (would prefer .avi) Thanks,

What is "normal AVI"? The only thing I can think of has raw video (i.e. BMP format) and raw audio (i.e. WAV format). Such thing takes up literally megabytes in seconds.

I think he's talking about transcoding the video stream to DivX/XviD. Also, yes, it is possible via pretty much any application such as VirtualDub, MEncoder, you name it. Just set the video codec to any one you need, and set the audio compression to "direct copy" or whatever it is named in the program you'll use.

Surprising thing about that is that all the different players also disagree on the exact raw video specs, I have found it impossible to create one raw video which played back the same way in WMP, MPC, VirtualDub, mplayer, xine, and avidemux.
