DivX and AVI: Two Different Terms

First of all, you have to understand DivX and AVI are not the same thing. 🤔

DivX refers to a brand of video codecs like MPEG-4 Part 2 DivX codec, H.264 DivX Plus HD codec and DivX HEVC Ultra HD codec. Despite the use of the ".divx" extension, DivX-encoded videos can also be encapsulated in other formats, such as .avi, and .mkv.

On the other hand, AVI is just a classic video container format only used to store the video encoded by H.264, DivX, Xvid, M-JPEG, VC-1 and so forth.

Let's make this clearer:

👉 DivX can be either a video codec or a multimedia container format (.divx).
👉 AVI ≠ DivX: AVI can store other codecs (e.g., Xvid, H.264), and DivX can be used in other containers (e.g., MKV).
👉 DivX-encoded videos are limited to DivX-supported devices for playback.
