i have some DiVX videos that i'd like to burn to DVD's to play in a normal DVD player (PS2, Xbox).
how does one go about doing this?
i've tried and tried, and i can't get the players to recognize the disks. Is it possible?
oh hey, my 1000th post.
where's my toaster?
Your choice. :D

what program are you using? You should convert it to an ISO file and then burn it. otherwise you loose the files needed for the dvd player to recgonize it as a dvd video, not just a dvd that just so happens to have video on it. Unless you have a divx compatible dvd player, then you can just throw the divx on the cd and itll see it.
Check out afterdawn.com (http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/) they should have exactly the information you're looking for.
Here's some quick stuff I found there.

I am a huge fan of the SlySoft Products
www.slysoft.com (//http://)
I use AnyDVD to unlock my discs and then use DVD Clone to rip it to an .ISO file and store on my 1.5TB drive.
Then I use their Virtual Clone Drive to play the file.
The problem is, slysoft programs are about 80$ a piece (Virtual Clone is free).
I have both the licenses (they are good for 2years), so I could possibly set you up.
