Video DVD is a standard carved in stone and does not include DivX. So that's a very good reason for it to fail.
VLC Player plays most "things" so you've shown again how good that is.
-> Try to make a standard Video DVD next time.

i just bought a dvd-r movie burned. the audio is not audible on my sony dvd player.
this player has played ALL other dvd-r's of old shows that i've bought or burned myself. the audio also doesn't play on one computer - power dvd. however, this dvd-r audio DOES plays on the computer's vlc,,,sony portable dvd player,,,my other computer,,,and when i encoded it to divx. one problem though is that the audio plays on the right side only.
on the sony dvd player that doesn't play the audio, when i hit the "audio" button it says "others" where it normally should say "english".
**computers are homexp/vlc/power dvd. sony dvd player, sony portable dvd player.
any suggestions? thx
