| Chaps, I am trying to burn a DIVX file to DVD with Nero 7 Ultra. ("Make you own DVD" in Smartstart) Although my DVD player reads it OK, when it plays it is very jittery with pixelation. Any ideas how I convert a DIVX AVI to MPEG2? Thanks, Mitch.

I see your using Vista. Vista Home Premium does it as standard.
Rather than use Nero, try the built in Windows tool. No idea how well it works, I've not used it since I was on the Vista beta testing and then it seemed to work fine for converting recorded airsoft videos to DVD copies for easier distribution to team mates. Menus were a bit basic but I wasn't after menus then.

The pixelation you talk about. Is that not due to the poor quality of the source material? From the little I know the reason that the compact movie sizes look good are due to the filters that the divx codecs apply. Once you convert it back and those filters are not used the content will suffer...I may be wrong.

| Pixelation is probably due to compression in the original file. Converting to dvd and then watching on a larger screen will show up artefacts that generally aren't noticeable when watching on your pooter. Not sure if it works on Vista, but DVD Flick may be worth a go. It's also worth not doing ANYTHING on the pooter while its encoding, even browsing the net etc can upset some encoding programmes. Switch off all non-essential processes while converting the file.
i dont really know what I'm doing but it looks good!

Although pixellation and other distortion can occur in any stage of the complex decode/recode chain, poor initial compression doesn't help. Problems can even occur with an ill-matched final player. Coding or disc burning processes can get easily interrupted in Windows, so they are best done off line. Simply unplugging from the 'net and letting Windows settle down before such a session can make a great difference and avoid a lot of rejected files or discs.
