I have to see this thing myself. If I manage to get hold of it I will stick
it in the PC and look at the structure and files sizes
The DVD player is a quite old Sony so the chances of it being dual layer are
very remote. He says there is nothing on the machine or in the instruction
manual mentioning DivX.
I smell compression and therefore shite quality and my mate just seeing DVD
as VHS but with flat shiny things ...
Cheers to all who replied
