*Which* standalone DVD players?

The format for a standard video DVD is MPEG in a VOB file, and there are
plenty of web pages that give you the specifications for that.  There
are programs that should automatically convert your video file into a
standard DVD, I've done that on Linux before, but so long ago that I
don't recall which program, and things have probably changed since then
(Fedora Core 4 era, I think).

When it comes to players supporting non-standard discs, it all depends
on the particular player.  Some will only play standard video DVDs, with
everything else having to be on a CD, some will play other files on any
type of disc.  A common file format is DIVX, but some will play almost
any AVI file.
