Converting DivX to Xvid using fourcc

[Falstaff1485]

Hi
We’ve recently bought a Linksys DMS2100 Media Extender, but am having difficulty playing some of my video files. It will play downloaded Xvid files but not DivX files. After some searching it was suggested that we use FourCC Changer. We tried to convert DivX files, but they still don’t seem to play on the Media Extender. I suspect that we’re doing things incorrectly.
I have two questions. Firstly are we doing the right thing by using FourCC? Secondly, could you tell me EXACTLY how to use this programme, please?
Any advice or help would be highly appreciated.

Regards

No harm done.

could you tell me EXACTLY how to use this programme, please?

Load your avi into the programme. Put your desired fourcc in the second box i.e., fourCC used codec nd hit APPLY.

If the file still does not play, please provide file info using Mediainfo.

Thanks guys

We downloaded FourCC Batch Changer, put Xvid into both little windows, dragged all DivX Avi files into the box below, clicked "apply" and the whole lot was done perfectly in seconds. Now all the movies are playing perfectly on our Media extender. Couldn't be happier.
