While there are video cards with tv-out and all of that, it's really just 
easier to stick a SVCD in the $70 Apex DVD player and be done with 
it.  Divx is better quality, but sometimes convenience is more 
important.  And the odds are better that you'll find what you're looking 
for as a VCD/SVCD then as a Divx file.
