The easiest/best way to convert video to stand-alone compatable DivX
files is AutoGK. The XviD codec is a free open source codec that
emulates DivX and AutoGK comes with that installed. AutoGK can also
use DivX but there isn't any need to do so.

Be sure to read the easy instructions and activate "stand alone
compatable" in the hidden options. Everything else can be left on
auto.
