If your DVD-player supports divx or xvid then there's no need to convert the videos to DVD. Just burn them as data and the player will play them.
If it doesn't, you have the choice to either convert them and author a DVD (takes much time indeed, best software would be TMPGEnc DVD Author) or keep them in the format you have, burn them as data and watch them via PC.
The problem with the conversion is that many videos were converted from DVD to avi (e.g. everything I posted here and all videos you'll find on spiral's blog). So the quality is worse than the original DVD. If you reconvert your avi to vob files, you'll lose quality again...
Thank you for the explanation, yeah!
Finally I know what's better with divx...
But the DVD player I have at my TV cannot read divx nor xvid. Of course the next will!
