I just want to confirm that Movie Factory 6 can burn a DVD of DIVX files or do I need to purchase DIVX Pro 7?
Background: I'm having a hard time watching MKV file on my TV (I have a portable DVD player that has a USB interface and DVD connects to my TV). I occassionally download from a torrent site. I missed the finale of BlueBlood and I didn't realize the torrent was in MKV format that is not supported by the DVD player. After googling I converted to a MPEG format using Any Video Converter and the sound was so out of sync it was unwatchable. Video was fine. So scrapping that idea I downloaded DIVX Plus converter that converts MKV to DIVx (conversion in progress)... and I believe my portal DVD players supports that. But if not I just wanted to know if MF can burn a DVD of DIVx or if I need to get the DIVx Pro software to burn a DIVx DVD. Please and thanks for any assistance.

Re: DIVX Files and MF6
First thing you have to realise is that a DivX disc is not a video disc as such, even though it has video on it. Video Studio and Movie Factory are programs which produces video discs -- including video DVDs, AVCHD hybrid discs and Blu-Ray. But they have special file structures.
A DivX disc, on the other hand, is simply a CD or DVD to which existing DivX or XVid videos are burned. But the big difference is that they are burned in their original format as though they simply data files and the DVD their storage medium. In other words, you can burn a DivX disc with any program which will burn data files to disc, and that includes Windows itself -- at least in Vista and Windows 7 that I am aware of. And of course you also need a DVD or Blu-Ray player which is rated to recognise and play DivX/XVid files in their native state.
However, if you insert a DivX file into VS or Movie Factory, it will convert it to DVD-compatible mpeg-2 or high def mpeg-2 or AVCHD, which is not what you are after at all.
