My DVD player (Philips DVP 3010) has trouble playing MPEG4 files like DivX and XviD when they have a "packed bitstream". Fortunately, someone wrote a very nice program to unpack these files, called UnpackMP4 AVI. It can check if the files have packed bitstreams, and unpack them. The unpacking appears to be lossless, and takes about 90 seconds for an entire movie on my 2 GHz computer. Nice work!
