Answer 1

Unfortunately there are several reasons why this might not be working.

Even though your player says it plays DivX, it may require the DivX files to be of a certain specification, it won't necessarily be able to play everything.

Also, sorry if this is a dumb question but you're properly finalising the discs etc.? Also, your DVD player is +R compatible?

Answer 2

You are convertimg them from avi files  or whatever ? Sometimes if you have a good dvd they dont like to play copies, do the ones you have made play okay on other peoples dvd players ? Maybe time to invest in a cheapo dvd player.
