Could somone pls help me i have many divx movies on my hard drive if i copy it directly to a cd-r will i be able to play it on these DVD players or do i need a special software to convert & copy them to a cd and only then i can play them in these DVD players...

Do you mean to say that DivX/Xvid has a specific codec version for Europe & America? I dont think so :confused:

i beg to differ its got to do with the rippers (the person & the tool) .... the region thing means that a dvd of a specific region will play in drives set to tht specific region .... u can only change the region i think max 5 times after that it gets locked to the last region selected ..... so don mess around wiht the region settings of ur drive

yes its related to the tool, codec settings and audio format and not with the region
