If you want to burn your DivX/AVI movies to CD-R (not DVD) to play in a DivX DVD player, then use Toast, but select DVD-ROM (UDF) in the Data tab. No encoding is necessary. Insert the CD-R, and away you go.

Burn DivX/AVI movies to CD
Is it absolutely necessary to use the DVD-ROM UDF format for some DivX players? I have two DivX players, and both have always worked fine on CDs I wrote using the "Mac & PC" setting. I'd just like to verify that there really are problems with this setting on some DivX players, then I'd better start using the UDF format in case I ever buy a new player so that I can still play the CDs I write now.

Hi,

I can only comment on the kiss dvd players that also play divx, xvids vcd, svcd, dvds, mpegs mp3, web radio etc.

the ISO format works fine on those players.. It's not necessary to use UDF

I use ISO 9660 with my Philips DVP-642 and it works great with CDs and DVDs. The manual for the player, while rather vague on this geek feature, did seem to indicate that that was the desired format.

What if the DivX/AVI file is over 800MB? Is there a way to split it? Better yet, does Toast automatically split it into two or more CDs?
Burn DivX/AVI movies to CD
You mean 700MB? Toast does not allow overburning and it doesn't do splitting as this is not that easy. There are probably tools around which do that, and I think there are also burning tools which do overburning but then again I don't know which internal writers used by apple support overburning.

I'm new here so I don't know why it didn't have an option to quote the original post, but this is in reply to questions from chienr.
Splitting AVI Files
Explicit is a nice and easy-to-use application for splitting AVI files:

Hi,
Burn DivX/AVI movies to CD
The inability of Toast and other Mac cd burning utilities to write discs with DIVX-usable subtitles is fairly well known. I have tried everything I could find, and the only success I have has was with Discribe. And, to be honest, that success was not 100% -- I still rely on my old PC to burn discs with subtitle files.

If you don't have Toast, you can burn an ISO-formatted CD-R with the command-line tool hdiutil. Here's a simple script I wrote for my own use:
(Yes, I've since learned that use of /tmp in this fashion is insecure. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to improve it if their situation warrants. Mine doesn't.)
Your AVI file(s) must be enclosed in a folder. One advantage of using ISO format over the standard Disk Image/Finder Burn is that, since the extra Mac-specific filesystem structure is not included, you can cram about 40MB more onto a CD-R (a full 700MB instead of 660MB). I've tried making a drag-n-drop app with this script using Platypus, but for some reason it doesn't work. Also I've tried burning a DVD, and although it seems to work and verifies with no errors reported, the Mac won't mount the disk afterward and doesn't recognize the filesystem.
An applescript to choose filesystem formats
I made an applescript to do this. It asks you:

Hi,
Toast burn errors?
At times, I have found Toast to be a bit flaky - I get more Key Sense Errors with it (it maybe the new DVD-Rs I bought) than from say, iTunes, or the Finder.
