watched a piece of movie extension was AVI, looked very good. captured some mpg , sports lots of fast movements .. encoded with Divx6 played on same Phillips player and hi def projector and looks awfull all blocky and sound cutts off at times, but look good on computer with Divx player. What was used for that movie? I like to timeshift and watch on projection screen.

Probably from a good non-interlaced / progressive source. You can't get same quality from a captured analog interlaced source.

Divx player also includes playback filters to help smooth out the blockiness, and the lower gamma of your PC screen also hides a lot of flaws that show up on TVs and projectors. The cutting out is most likely an issue with the burn or the media.
