What is a good divx to mpeg converter?

Question

I have a divx file that I can only see with a divx player but I'd like to see it with Windows Media Player, instead of just hearing it. I know I could also get the codecs for WMP, but I also want to be able to write subtitles for the movie and so far I haven't had any luck with the divx file. I think I'd have better luck if it was an mpg movie, so please help or give me some advice on what I can do. Thanks in advance.

I don't want to have the subtitles as a seperate file from the video for the player to recognize and load them, I want them to be in the video itself so that I may burn it onto a dvd (or cd, if it fits) and see the movie with subtitles in whatever dvd player. I've read somewhere that I can edit the video and put subtitles in it using Windows Movie Maker, but just like with Premiere, it won't open a divx file (I think I mentioned Premiere crashes with an error and closes when I try to), I need it to be an mpeg, or maybe an avi file.

I never thought this would be such a complicated issue until I asked and nobody seems to know what to answer! Not to mention I hardly get any answers even when I try asking it in a different way or with another approach to the problem.

Answer 1

Windows Media 10 with Anark Client installed.

Or, g to divx .com and download their free player.

Answer 2

winavi is a great and fast converter...handles just about everything if youve got the codecs for it

as for subtitles get vobsub

if you use a prog like media player classic (best player out there imho)
it will auto load a subs file if vobsub is present

and winavi will hard code those subs into a file if you so wish
