Can anyone tell me what Div X Video disks are and what I have to do to get them to play?

Question

I have a new Panasonic DVD recorder thinking this would play the Div X video CDs

Compatible players normally have the Divx logo on them and they are normally clearly marked as being Divx compatible.

Panasonic do make divx compatible recorders

Have a look on this site, if your models listed it'll tell you what formats it plays
