A note of caution, unless you have a recent, multi-core processor, video conversion can take a long, long, long time.

A newer DVD player that plays Divx etc
A Media player - from about £20 if you want SD £40 for HD with HDMI etc.
A console like an Xbox (old one with XBMC on it - used one for years as my standard media center until I wanted HD content)

The previous DVD player was O.K. with DVD's produced with DeVeDe on the PC.
I suspect it's a DRM (Digital Rights Management) problem.

Quote from: pierre_pierre if you get the new copy of PC Utilities Magazine Issue 135, just come out, it has all the programs you need on its DVD to do what you require, cost £5.99
Thanks I will get a copy of that.
Quote from: pierre_pierre must be an old DVD player, most new ones play different formats
Well not that old, it's a Sony DVP - NS78H.....with a software conversion to make it an all regional player.
I guess what I was looking for may not exist, I assumed there might be some hardware whereby you connect something to the television / computer and it would transmit via a wireless connection anything playing on the computer to the television.
You can possibly tell from this statement that my knowledge of this topic is zero but thought it worth checking out.
No doubt I will end up having a bash at converting the files but as johpal says it takes a long, long, time

Thanks for that link, looks intersting, i'm always looking for free (or cheap) programs.
Quote from: Matt If you do, take a look at Handbrake - not that I convert much video, but that's a free program with some good tutorials online and (iirc) a relatively simple interface... for a video transcoding program, anyway.

Thanks for that, solved a problem for me. The files saved by my Hauppauge Freeview card with the latest version of WinTV can now be converted to a "useable" format. Earlier versions of WinTV created pretty standard MPEG's but not this one.
