or
be sure that you can play the mp4 with windows media player.
install avisynth
open notepad
type
DirectShowSource("D:\location\videosample.mp4")
save as video.avs
open with media player and it should play.
and you can now open the video.avs in most editors, encoders like virtualdub, windows media encoder.

Once again a request for a simple easy way to turn divx downloads into DVDs. Alas, there is no simple easy way. mpeg-4 downloads are typically incompatible with DVD mpeg-2 format in every possible way: different frame size (not 720 x 480 or 720 x 576; usually divx downloads feature much smaller and often oddball framesizes), different audio sampling rate (usually 44.1 khz instead of the 48khz in DVD-spec mpeg-2), different encoding format (mpeg-4 and often deinterlaced as compared to mpeg-2 interlaced in DVD). You have to go through so many conversions and so much hassle to get a divx download converted to a decent-looking watchable video DVD that it's not worth the trouble.

Save yourself a lot of hassle and just watch the divx download on your computer. If you want freeware to do the conversion, VirtualDubMod will do it...but in my experience you have to run so many filters to do smoothing, change framesize, interpolate, anti-alias, deblock, and change the gamma and saturation and contrast and brightness to make a divx download look decent on a TV that it's not worth all the hours 'n hours 'n hours of CPU time to do the conversion.

Besides, divx downloads are encoded at such low bitrates they look like crap anyway.
