My home cinema system supports usb input, and only play divx video files. I'm trying to convert it but there is no "divx" option but an avi option.

No, not necessarily. .AVI is just a container format that can possess a codec of its own made by Microsoft, or you can use DivX or XviD, or the myriad of codecs out there.

If your system supports DivX chances are it should support playing .AVIs straight if that's what your converting to. It may not however, and for this you'd need to convert it to an actual DivX file. You can do this by downloading the DivX converter from their website, or by using VLC Media Player.
