I have had fairly good luck playing most AVIs with the ILO DVDR05MU1
and firmware 610. I believe the ones that do play are made with the
XviD codec and not DivX. I cannot play .mpg4 as such.

Most torrents are XviD. It would appear that XviD is now the defacto
standard for MPEG4 codecs. I have tried both with WinDVD and XviD
outperforms DivX.
