maybe you should first try get a firmware update for your standalone palyer as this might lead to divx3 support?

my dvd maraton - divx559
its some crapy dvd that costs about 40 bucks and i cant even find the company that made it
isent there a way to convert the files to divx 5?Comment

there sure IS a way to convert from divx3 to divx5, but....
... it'll take an enormous time
... you'll loose quality due to another encoding process
... the next best cheaper player should support divx3
if i were you i'd try this:
- make a copy/backup of one of the titles in question
- download fourcc changer: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/avifourcc.html
- load your avi with fourcc changer
- change both 4cc codes to DX50, save the file and try it with a rewritable media on your player
DX50 is the code for divx 5
if you're lucky your player refused to play the old divx3 only because it was told so and not because it actually couldnt really handle the format
if you change the 4cc code the file will now tell your player it is a divx5 format and maybe the player will accept this
the changing will cost you only some 10 seconds per title and not change its quality at all so this should be the first thing to try imhoComment

IMO I wouldn't re-encode the divx 3 avi's especially since you have alot of them. If what "UncasMS stated doesn't work you could look at getting a new player. You can get some from under $50Comment
