Yeah, I can't play DivX in my standalone DVD-Player on my big TV and also get no Surround Sound.
When converting DivX to SVCD, I gain crappy quality compared to DivX or DVD quality and still have no surround. So if you're a cineastic, you eigther visit your local cinema or buy DVDs... I do both. Perhaps we get DivX with Dolby Surround soon?
