You don't wnt to recode Div-X or XviD back to MPEG-2 data because the 
quality-loss would be too high. If you really want to play it on 
standardplayers give the mplayer-tools (mencoder) a chance to recode it 
to mpeg-1 (VCD-standards) so numb players may play it...

Have you ever thought about buying another player which decodes Xvid and 
plays different language-tracks?
I just sold my old one at eBay and am happyly watching my movies on my 
Yamada DVX-6600.
No this is not an advertisement, I just like this one :-)
