problems watching some avi files

[tricks]

I’m having major issues with some of the avi's I burn to play on my stand alone player. Most of these files play fine on my computer with DivX Plus and WMP but once I burn them to a DVD (as avi files) only half of the picture shows, the bottom half of the screen is the garbled background the DVD player shows when there isn’t a disk in it. Now this is a limited number of files that give me this problem, most play fine. Some of these files have been converted from Xvid or MKV to Avi because of the problem with the Divx plus player not playing some Xvid files. I don’t think this factors in though because some of them played fine before I burned them. I’ll go into the Divx player problem in another post.
I tried burning at the slowest speed, converting, and asking (in a post) if anyone else had this problem with the same file ( they didn’t) the only thing I ever got to work was converting to a DVD (VOB) file. I’m thinking it may be something to do with the output resolution (screen size) but I have noticed that files that played fine on the DVD player hooked to my flat screen have been of various sizes. I use Xilisoft for most of my conversions, but I have also tried using the Divx converter, and VDub but with VDub I have had a 1gb file become 90.1 gb’s! but that’s a whole other story, if ya can’t tell I’m wayyyy new at this stuff. I hope this is enough information, thanks for any advice you may have to get me on track. Here is the format info on one of the files that when burned and played on my stand alone shows only half a screen ( the tv is set on widescreen)

I posted info on another board and someone thought that maybe it was the codec ID being DX50 and suggested I change it to xvid with the fourcc changer, at first it seemed maybe that was right but then I found a file that played fine that was DX50, if needed I can post info from mediainfo or gspot. Thanks

Format: Divx 6.9.2 YV12 Decoder DX50
