I'm trying to convert it but there is no "divx" option but an avi option.

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. Yup, that's right. :) QFT marshmellowman Posted at 5:23 am on Sep. 14, 2008 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.

I am pretty sure thats what most vids I play in my divx player are lol Yes, i'd say most of mine are AVI format as well. rawrr Posted at 5:17 am on Sep. 14, 2008 AVI is Audio-Video Interleave? (i think its interleave at least :|) you can use Windows media player or Divx or FLV try converting it to AVI. ijustdontknow Posted at 5:16 am on Sep. 14, 2008 I believe avi is correct format.
