you could put it on a cd just as a data file...

but you cant watch it like that

You would be surprise to see what even some on the cheapest DVD-players can play.

My sister took some of my burned DVD data copies to an electronics store and bought a DVD-player that can play most of the regular formats you get from Limewire for little over $100. And since things are expensive in the Faroes you would probably get it for less in other countries

So you can watch videos on a DVD player of different formats and on a CD?

Don't know about data-cd's. I always burn data-DVD's. It plays VCD and SVCD for sure. I said so on the box

She tried DivX 5.2. XviD with and without AC3 audio and MPEG video. They all worked flawlessly
