If you have a power mac, get VLC (video media player)
http://www.videolan.org/ (This software is greatĦĦĦĦ)
Then you have to have a video card with a S-video output (radeon 8500
for instance). So you can have two monitors: the computer monitor and a
TV (with a VCR or just the VCR) connected to the computer.
Open the Divx file using VLC, and select SCREEN (#2), so it will go to
the TV or VCR (dont forget to connect the audio cable to the vcr)

ps: I think you can do that uisng firewire and a video camera, as a
second monitor.
