DivX on DVD? Possible?

[jjjason]

I tried burning several divX's onto a DVD-RW, but unfortunately when it came to playing it, the XMS888 just spat it out again. I was able to burn two episodes in DivX onto a CD.

Anyone know how i can fit multiple DivX's onto a single DVD-R?

Perhaps you need to look at how you are doing it, I have dvd-r's with multiple divx files on them. Just burn in iso mode, they won't support multi session dvd though, so decide what you want on the disc and burn it all in one go.

Don't use any packet writing software (in-cd / direct cd), don't use iso/udf you need to burn standard iso images.

I have had the same problem.
Doesn't matter how I burn it, the XMS888 spits out certain disks.
Got annoyed the last time it did it and just kept closing the tray whenever it spat the disk out :)
Eventually it read the disk fine, and now there is no problem reading it ... go figure.
Anyway, try loading the disk over and over until it reads - worked for me.
I wonder if it's the media ... I'm using Princo DVD-Rs.

Yeah it very well could be media!! Like everybody else said, just burn a bog standard ISO compilation, and try a different media.

If it doesnt work on other media your player could very well be faulty.

Try burning as sssslllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyy as your burner will let you.
I've had multiple avi's on DVD media, however if I burn at 4x, it will usually spit the disc back out again. Burn at 2x, no problems so far.
(Also, the player only supports multi-sessions on DVD RW formats, not DVD R)
