the OP finally states that their player supports divx....which means the discs can be burned as data discs (or at least I assume, as I've never owned a player that plays such files)..

I think LOTR's comment about PAL or NTSC may be very valid....

it is possible that if you are downing current releases that the encoding used has changed to a more modern format and your player no longer supports them...

the big thing about a divx player is you can burn a lot of files onto one DVD disc and play them, whereas transcoding the .avi file to a VOB file means you can usually only fit one movie per disc...

since you have Nero I suggest you try to transcode one of the files via the make movie option and convert it to VOB format that should work on all DVD players (as long as it is NTSC or PAL according to your region)
