Right. I don't know if VCD (video CD) is DivX or not, but I know of it. >.. % % Well, sounds to me like DVD is way better than DivX. Why would anyone % want to make a CD-Movie recording out of a DVD? Because you might not want to have to pay for the DVD, of course. I'm interested in VCD for turning out tapes into CDs to play in our DVD player and save the space in the cabinet. I've never seen a VCD and don't know how it compares to DVD (probably not well) or tape (might be just as good); I haven't taken the time to do the tinkering or spend something like $8 for a movie in VCD format.
