How do I burn the Divx, NOT mpeg VCD format.

[Bayag]

I've been making my own VCD's, no problem with encoding or anything (the part which SHOULD be difficult). But this is really stupid... now I got a DVD-kit to connect my computer to the TV set and I want to put the Divx as a backup on a CD-R.

What's the best way of doing that? As an ISO or what?
I'm using Nero so please, if possible, give a hint where to do it from there.

...before I start wasting CD-R's

just burn the divx straight to CD. use the 'data cd' option in nero and burn away. same as you would for any data cd.

DivX sucks ! But if you still want to work with it, here's what you've got to do.
DivX is just an ordinary kind of Codec, and the result remains AVI.
So in your case you need to store the DivX to plain DataCDR's, which you cannot play at any DVD-player like a standard DVD-disk. Your computer will recognise the disk as a CD-Rom and you play the DivX with programs like winDVD or microsoft's MediaPlayer.

Thank you for your good answers! Worked just fine.

Had too many Divx on my HD and too little free space and too little time to encode and make VCD so I think this will be better.

Thanks!

Good decision ! Just burn those Divx (.avi files) to CD-R to free up your hard disk space. These Divx movies only play in PC anyway, hopefully in future stand alone DVD players.
Just hope that all thoses movies are 700MB long at most !!!
Or else ???

Or else you split the file into 2 or 3 pieces.
