Before I built my current Home Theater PC, I use to (and still do) own a Divx compatible DVD player. Since DVD recordable driver were so expensive back then, I would just rip and encode my movie to Divx format. The worked in my DVD player, and my laptop without purchasing expensive DVD playback software so they were portable and CD-Rs were incredibly inexpensive. It was brilliant! To think that my five year old DVD player has Divx playback ability and my Zune still doesn't is laughable.
