Help, Newbie here

Ive just started burning dvds on to my hard drive usind DVDx, and i convert them using the codec DIV 4 and making it a AVI file so it can fit on to a cd, im using a Athlon computer, so i dont know whether that makes any difference, anyway when ive put it on the hard drive then i convert it to a blank cd, can i send the cd to a friend and they can watch it or do they need anything on thier computer to watch it.

PS: anybody got any tips on making picture better without drastically changing the filesize, all help appreciated.

Make sure to give them a copy of the DivX 4 codec to install on their system.

where would i find this codec file and what type of file is it

[setarip]

"using the codec DIV 4"

You'd apparently find it on your computer ;>}

SO HOW WOULD I FIND THIS FILE ON ITS OWN SO I COULD GET IT ON THE CD

[setarip]

"YELLING" doesn't make you any more assertive - only more annoying.

You are asking me where you can find something on your computer that you installed there. You've got to be kidding...

To anyone else reading this, I guess even I have my limits.

Didn't you or somebody (sharing computers?) else install that codec into the computer? You couldn't have encoded it using the codec if you haven't installed it.
