What do you use for burning DivX vids?

I've been using Nero for a while but it takes two hours to convert DivX to MPEG2 and then sometimes they don't even play in the DVD player.

Could you recommend anything else? I don't mind buying a decent piece of software.

I'll give that a bash and see.

I've also downloaded ConvertXtoDVD, really easy to use.

Svcd2dvd, you can buy dvd players that can play divx disks as well. The speed that it takes to convert is mostly dependant on your pc specs. Mine can usually transcode a 2 hour video, apply pulldown and author in under the 2 hour video length, what cpu do you have?

As energize said, the speed of encoding is dependent upon the specs of your computer. For best results I recommend TMPGEnc, here's quite a handy tutorial.

Any of the above and include WinAvi for speed although not free like the rest are. Perhaps the easiest way is buying a Dvd player which plays Divx's like Energise suggested. Burning a Divx as a data file takes less than 5 minutes
