If I have lots of AVI files, do I really need to convert to MPG in order to play on normal VCD player? Or is this there a quicker or compatible format for normal players?

If so, which software burns vcd from AVI, in best vcd quality?

I've tried many software so far (eg. video conversion expert, winavivideoconvert, etc), and it takes so long to convert to MPG before burning vcd. Takes more than 1 hour to burn one vcd. But vcd playback is very bad ie. got many pixelation.

What does it mean if my normal dvd player can play divx? Do I need to convert my avi files to divx or is avi = divx? If avi = divx, how do I know which version of divx?
