your on the right tracks

mpeg flask = cvd,vcd,svcd,xvcd or xsvcd,vob
avi flask = divx 4,5 avi variants etc
ogg flask = xvid,ogg etc

of course most dvdplayers only like coasters prepped with mpeg flask.

as for divx transcoding .... tricky but not impossible quality after on vcd 
spec about the same as good quality vhs.
i take it you got a movie in divx format and want to convert for domestic dvd 
playback.

cheers,

lee
