    Ok, an idea came to me. How about Divx DVD? Like Have a DVD type menu but have the video compressed in divx. So you get the benifits of DVD menuism while not having to use a DVD to get the whole movie?

    I am soooo about to try to do this, but can it be done? has it been done before?

    you mean for playback in a standalone? no, it can't be done.

    as for menus and stuff for computer playback, the mp4 container already features that and mkv will soon.
    Sorry, I had to go see about a girl

    Can't be done with the current crop of players. There is nothing to stop you creating something like this as a data disk, with a menu and video files, but it would only be playable in a PC, not a stand alone player.

    There are also still quite a lot of Divx capable players that wont play from a DVD, only from a CD.
