Just got a DVD player that accepts DIVX files from a usb stick but I'm trying to get them in the best quality so I've got some 720p video files exept they're in MKV format.
I need to convert them into divx, now I've already searched these forums and am still stuck. I've have managed to get them into vob files using convertxtodvd but what is the best program to use to get them now into divx files or ideally whats the best program (that means easiest) to get them straight from mkv to divx.
I've tried mkv to avi convertor, open video convertor and alltoavi and non worked and alltoavi is the most complicated piece of junk I've ever used.:confused:
 
hehe its not a simple afair. What you have to understand first of all is that mkv is only a container, it contains any kind of video/audio stream. Most likely since you have 720p mkv's the video codec used will be x264. So what you need is an x264 - divx/xvid converter. You will also need to downscale the video to a standard PAL resolution as I highly doubt your dvd player will be capable of playing HD content.

There are many guides over at doom9 but as for one piece of software to do it all, I havent a clue. Just wanted to explain a couple of the intricacies involved.
