I've used this download.cnet.com It seems to me it asks you if you'd like to upgrade--but I just plug away with this version. I think it has about ten file formats to choose from. Come to think of it, I sold that PC, so time for me to download it an install it again, thanks for the reminder! -------------------------------------- Another article on HTPC, which seems to contradict the idea I posted yesterday anandtech.com a more powerful, 65W TDP CPU at 10% load will dissipate less heat than a less powerful, 45W TDP CPU at 80% load --from what we saw yesterday, for decoding that video it was all the same, at least for these processors i3-2100, i5-2400, i5-2400s, and i3-2100t. silentpcreview.com here is the intel compare ark.intel.com,

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. B
