It seems that DivX compatible DVD players need activation prior to actually being able to play homebrew, rented or purchaced DivX movies. I found this out by trying to get the player to accept my movie disc. After I got the disc burning solution figured out and went to try it, this strange menu came up. While digging around in the menus I found the activation code I would need to activate the device.
An activation movie needs to be played in the compatible player before it will play the movie I created.
The way to create the activation movie is within the Divx Player on the Tools menu. There is an option to select called Device Manager. After completing that process and burning it to disk I popped it in the player and played the movie by selecting it from the wierd menu.
I guess If I ever read the the manual I might have know this. But really, how often do you think I read DVD player manuals? NOT!
The movie disc though actually has really good quality considering it's burned to a cd-r disc when I played it.
