No more tedious transcoding... You download and play... Easy!

As time goes on more and more stuff will become available, so less of a need to transcode. I like foreign films generally and Asian moves and TV shows in particular. Having to deal with subtitles often limits the options. Hopefully more and more edits of each film/TV show have synced subs available online. Therefore stuff should be a lot simpler than the hurdles I had to jump over just to watch quality video with subs. :)
Anyway I am curious about the hardware the OP uses and look forward to the replies.
I have been out of the loop for a few years. Software and especially media stuff changes fast. So I am reluctant to suggest specific software. If I did the chances would be high that much of it is abandonedware by now. :)
I wish I had a setup to check out the new set top boxes and Ultra HD. I'm sure it is all very cool. :)
Next time I hit the Lotto I'll have to empty out the BrandsMart. :)

ok, safe to say we're not in UHD territory ;D ;D ;D.
Device is a cheapo Audiosonic (Mod # CDV-992AQ) which isn't referenced on the site Miles linked to. Googling the model number only shows 2 pages (almost a googlewhack these days).
Generic searching for Audiosonic and formats indicates DIVX so I'm gonna go with that and see what happens (what could possibly go wrong?)

Sounds like a good plan. Likely any video made using xvid converter to specs would work. A lot of free conversion tools use xvid. I never had a problem due to using that instead of the divx codec.

I just use MakeMKV, and that allows me to play it from my DVD player, my media hub, and my computer.

+1 I bought a MakeMKV license back in Feb. 2010.
I don't know why the DVD Player USB port is so touchy about format unless the DVD makers all buy the same chip that has the decoding built in or something.
