    According to the divx website, all you need is the OS.

    Do you want to play the DVD in a normal DVD player or in a DVD DivX player?

    If you want to convert the DivX file to vob files for DVD consumption you can convert and create a disc image with ffmpegX and burn the image from disk utilities or toast.

    If you want to play the divX in a divX player just copy it to the dvd via the OS (put in a black dvd and drag the file onto it, right click or ctrl-click and burn).

    ffmpegx is free, Toast isn't. But you can use the disc utility instead.

    This has pretty much all you need to know- just ignore the part about subtitles if it doesn't apply.

    I think Breezer's post wasn't too far off (well not in my case anyhow!). I can seem to just drag just about any Divx/Xvid film onto the iDVD window and it'll make a DVD. Although I don't know whether this can be done with just the free Divx player installed or something like 'Perian' as I have the mpeg2 QT component and also Toast, which appears to install some kind of divx player components.

    Also Mpeg Streamclip is a free and pretty good convertor for stuff.
