Out of curiosity, why would one want to do that? I can only assume your "player" doesn't handle DivX.

Word of warning: DivX back to something tends to look like crap. DivX is a lossy compression (meaning it tosses as it converts). The result on playback really depends (a) How good the source is and (b) how large [quality aspects] the final file is.

Said another way. If you have a 4GB MPEG2, convert it to say 1.37GB DivX then turn around and convert back to MPEG2, you will see a vast difference.
