Is my thought process correct H264 vs x264?

I have been having a LOT of trouble converting to specific formats for the media player I bought my parents which only plays xvid/dvix in an avi container (even though some are coded like this as far as gspot tells me) the media player will say "MPEG-4" at the top of the screen. The ones where I thought I converted them correctly (I have used 12 different programs in these attempts) they never say MPEG-4 and don't play on it.

I have successfully done a FEW 264 to xvid conversions using a program called "Any Video Converter". I dont recall if they were x264 or H264, I am assuming they were x because the H264 never work.

Is h264 like high def and x264 standard?

If so in order to get it to play on the media player would I have to convert H264 to x264 then convert it xvid avi?

I would think recoded a movie two times would make quality suffer a bit, but am fine with it looking dvd quality.

The files I am trying to convert to xvid in an avi container are mp4 h264.

Is there a beginner friendly program (ie really easy to use)?
