The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial web sites. Prior to downloading a VOD you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form of the site.

It may also be that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause.
