VCD=mpeg1,DVD=mpeg2,divx=mpeg4 ( roughly ) If you have a divx, you should be able re-encode it as mpeg2 with mencoder (part of mplayer). So, you need to start reading up the documentation for mplayer/mencoder. There are manpages, and entire folder of docs. Then search the web for howtos if thats not enough. Hope this helps a little bit.
