   Be careful, DivX (capital D, capital X) is a file format recognized
by vlc with some relationship with MPEG4, while the Divx in "Divx
DVD" comes from its creator Digital Video Express and is, as far as I
understand, a rip-off DVD format which kinda self-destructs after a
while.

   I may be mistaken, but playing Divx DVDs on a computer would be more
of a hardware problem; I don't see any reason why vlc couldn't read
them. Did you try reading an alternate title or chapter?
