Hello Barry, Easiest way to add a range of codecs is to add the (meta) package ubuntu-restricted-extras although that installs a lot of packages, some of which you may not want added. For the divx support, I usually use the package libxvidcore4 - xvid is the open source divx codec. This is great for online videos and for video libraries. I have seen some good high definition videos using the Matroska container which in PiTiVi gives you a large number of codecs to choose from. The Matroska [matroskamux] container may be a good alternative to the mp4mux if you want more codec choice. Not sure what the best codec would be for creating a DVD as I never use that format. I am assuming you would use the ffmux_dvd container - there are only a few options for video and audio codec when I select this container.
