I've never seen one -- considering DVD technology is MPEG-2 and DivX is based on MPEG-4, there could be problems in making it happen. MPEG-4 is so compressed I don't really see it happening either -- takes too much processing power.

yes I see what you mean, I can build a divx player much easy but the video output would be costly, a good video card w/ a/v output would sov this problem.

It would have to be someting like this:
A DDR motherboard 16x Dvd-rom drive Duron @ 700Mhz Radeon 8500 A good A/V output card to send the video to your tv WIndows 98SE <---Essential for low memory usage by the OS and compatibilty. Dose anyone see any problems with this setup? |

Overkill
 I run DVDs and DivX movies through an 8 meg ATI Rage Pro, on a K6-3+ 450 machine with 192 megs of RAM. It doesn't take much really. I have a hollywood plus for the DVDs, and use BSPlayer for the DivX movies. |

Get something like the ATI ALL-IN-WONDER PRO video card. You can find it pretty cheap, about $100ish and it has video in and out. Check it out here: http://www.ati.com/na/pages/products...pro/index.html
You'll also want something like the Sound Blaster Audigy. RenegadeKing
