Well, why would you want to do that ? XviD is a codec made to compress the video mantaining the highest quality possible... afaik VideoCD and Super Video CD use MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 which have very poor compression and weigh a lot of bytes. If you want them to fit into one or more CD-Rs you have to compress them -> and so comes XviD. Doing the opposite job (XviD 2 MPEG-1/2) would make no sense.

I think VirtualDub can do the job but remember that if you convert XviD to AVI (uncompressed frames) you will have the same video and quality and the file will only weigh a lot more!

If you want to have AVIs because your DVD player is not XviD/DivX compliant then you're right, but probably it will not fit in one CD-R!
