rental period allocated during purchasing from the web site has expired. It may also be that the recorded file	E N
is incompatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The
parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause. Since it is not possible here to supply all

a specialised web site such as www.divx.com/vod.

Concerning DivX files

You can find DivX files for download as well as generating them your self from your own content. In the same way as mp3 files are used for audio, DivX and mpeg4 can be used for video. Files can be recorded from your computer on to a CD-R or RW disc, which, owing to the much higher compression than that used for DVDs can contain a complete movie.

The DivX, XviD and RV9 formats are all file formats using the same type of compression known as MPEG-4.Though these formats all utilize a different codec.

A note on copying: before making use of DivX or mpeg4 files, please be sure of their origin and that you have legally purchased or rented the content. Pirate copying is illegal and may result in sanctions. Private copies of your own material for your own use may be legal in some countries. Make sure you are aware of applicable laws.
