It doesn't matter which version DivX you have. So long as you can play the DivX you can encode to VCD-compliant mpg. Many DivX have VBR sound, so it's best (IMO) to extract an uncompressed wav first before converting. There are some very good instrux elsewhere on this site. I would use TMPGEnc. 8)

i did EXACTLY that, but my sony dvp s55od still wont recognize it. it keeps saying NO CD. i dont know if im burning incorrectly, because i have watched vcd's on it before.

Sony players can be very choosy about which discs they recognise. I think you need to use the same brand of disc which played OK in the past.
