    Default XVID and other Codecs

    XVID is the torrent standard which is played by every $30 DVD player. Some however, insist on seeding rips with weird codecs like H264 etc. As my PC is too slow to do mass conversions is there a way of just adding an XVID codec or something to the DVD (or CD) so a DVD player can interpret and convert the code and play it like an XVID?

    Nope.

    H264 is a MPEG 4 part 10 codec, XVID is a MPEG 4 part 2 codec, Generally H264 is usually used for HD type videos, xvid for SD. Although this is not absolute.

    Thanks for the info but my DVD player won't play the H264 as it is. Can I just drop a codec on the DVD etc to make it happen?

    Nope, you have to convert H264 to Xvid to have your DVD player play it.
