    Divx was a video codec and much better than the others at that time. It was super confusing when Circuit City announced their DIVX program.

      Yeah DivX was awesome. Really led the way in allowing videos to be shared online. I wouldn’t have seen half the anime I did if it wasn’t for it.

        I think the first DivX I watched was Princess Mononoke. Not a bad start for sure!

          Mine was a cam recording of Scary Movie 2. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Not the fault of the codec. I avoided cams after that and waited for the screeners.

          But oh boy did I love my divx South Park episodes.

          I probably haven’t watched a movie in 5 years.

          .avi is a container format. It can contain a divx video stream or almost any other encoding of video as well as audio streams and other media. It isn’t exclusive to divx.
