Divx is a form of compression algorithm used in video formats such as AVI (Audio Video Interleave) As is Xvid and others. AVI is the type, Divx is the compression, OK? Good luck!

AVI is a Microsoft movie file (Audio Video Interleave) and DIVX is a video codec from DivXNetworks (www.divx.com). It is based on MPEG-4, it compresses video files to 10% of the original MPEG-2 format, and a full DVD movie can be stored on a CD.
That is a major accomplishment to compress that much data into such a small space.

They are different but you should be able to play both on your computer as long as you have the updated codecs.
