Sometime in the next couple of months im gonna get myself a DVD burner, and I'm just curious: If i put a couple of divX movies on one DVD, is there a way to get a menu on the DVD (like all the movied DVD's have), in which i can select the movie i want player? Or is that not possible yet?

If it is to be played back strictly on a PC, the answer is yes, but for DivX to play on a standalone DVD player the answer is no. Atleast not as far as I know, I haven't see or heard of a standalone doing DivX.
To do it for a PC, it is pretty much just a data disc with an autorun menu. I use one that is not a menu within WMP, but is a seperat little app that has menu buttons. I then edit an /ini file to have the buttons play whatever video I want, associating it with WMP. I usually just do one movie to one CD and it works great.

You can convert your DivX movies to MPEG2 then create your own DVD with menus etc. You'll need some form of DVD authoring software, I suggest you take a look at www.doom9.org and www.vcdhelp.com for a wealth of helpful information on the subject.Comment
