No codecs required, no install needed, just run and play.

PS. Conversion guides are plentiful, easy to find on google.com so I'll let you do that.
Hi,
I have a few DivX and Xvid video files on my computer. However, I need to give a couple of these files to somebody who is not very computer-savvy. So instead of giving them proper instructions as to installing the DivX or Xvid codecs, I want to convert them to MPEG-2 format.
Can I get some recommendations on software to convert from DivX and Xvid (AVI) to MPEG-2? Obviously, I would prefer freeware, but I'll consider commercial software if it's really good, and worth the cost.
Thanks!
