DIVX is the .divx file extension, which is used to denote a DivX-Encoded Movie File. It is a high-definition, low file-size video encoding format developed by DivX, Inc. for delivery of digital home video content over the Internet. The format allows users to watch standard-definition movies on devices with limited capacity, such as portable media players and smartphones.
Technical Details
The DIVX format allows users to compress large video files into an MPEG-4 based format with an.avi file name extension. DivX 4.0 and 5.0 (DivX Pro) can be used in combination with a variety of audio standards, specifically ISO/MPEG-4 Audio Layer III, Dolby Digital AC3, Windows Media Audio V2 or MPEG-1 Layer II. All of these codecs are supported by Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player as well as various other media players.
Files in the DIVX format contain audio and video streams compressed using MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile codecs, which are capable of producing high-quality videos with reasonable file size. The container for the data stream is based on the RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format). Other similar file extensions are: .avi, .mp4, .mpeg, .mov, .3gp.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DIVX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DIVX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DIVX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DIVX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DIVX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DIVX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DIVX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DIVX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DIVX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DIVX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
