See my post about 3ivx. I went through all this for HOURS last night. First download Quicktime player then install it. This will play the movie. I'm sure it has a .mp4 extension. As for converting it to DVD, i'm still trying to figure this one out. I have successfully converted the video, i'm just not getting any audio out of TMPGEnc. I think it has something to do with the audio being AAC. Unfortunately, there isn't much out their about AAC audio conversion. HELP!

This is TomKatt's thread - please refrain from hijacking it - you have
already posted about your problems a couple of times. Be patient and
I'm sure someone will be able to assist.

Did you install 3ivx yet?

Installing a DirectShow 3ivx filter should let you view and play the file. If you can view & play it but get no sound, that's because you haven't yet installed an AAC DirectShow filter to handle AAC audio. Download & install an AAC audio filter and then use either TMPGenc, or if TMPG won't handle it, MPG2AVI, to save the file as a standard DV type 1 or type 2 AVI with WAV file.
Then encode resultant DV AVi file to MPEG-2, use BeSweet to conver the mpa layer 2 audio to ac3, and finally feed the m2v and ac3 into any DVD authoring program and burn the DVD.
That's the way I burn DVDs of older forms of DiVX. Only difference being most of 'em were PAL format, so I had to do an extra step to convert NTSC to PAL (during video encoding).
Rule of thumb: if you can output a video format as DV type 1 or type 2 AVI, you can *always* convert it to anything else.
