Hello all.

The other day, a French student brought me a CD with a DivX file on it. 
She wondered if I could put it on a VHS tape.  My initial reaction was no 
because the DivX format is usually used for pirated movies.  It does, 
however, present an interesting problem.  I took several stabs at it 
without success.  I thought iMovie would import it and then I could write 
out to a VCR or camera but it gets part way through the import process and 
stops.  The only way I know of at this time is to play it on a flat panel 
monitor (no flicker like a CRT) and stick a camera in front of it.

Anybody have any great ideas?

Tom
