  3. Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and download your DivX files.

Why Convert AVI to DivX?

DivX is a video codec that was widely used in the early 2000s for compressing video to fit on CDs and DVDs. Many DVD players from 2003-2012 include a "DivX Certified" logo, meaning they can play DivX-encoded video from burned discs or USB drives.

When You Need DivX

Older DVD Players

DivX-certified DVD players can play DivX video from data DVDs. If your AVI file uses a different codec (like MPEG-4 Part 2 or uncompressed), the player may not recognize it. Re-encoding to DivX ensures compatibility.

Portable Media Players

Some older portable media players (Creative Zen, Archos, early Android tablets) specifically support DivX playback.

DivX vs XviD

Competitors like convertio.co offer VBR/CBR bitrate control for DivX output. anyconv.com notes that "DivX files can be played with DivX Player, VLC, or Windows Media Player with codec packs" and that "many DVD players also support DivX playback." convertfiles.com highlights that conversion "reduces file size while maintaining high video quality." XConvert adds video/audio codec selection, 6 compression methods, resolution options, and trim.

DivX vs XviD

Feature DivX XviD
License Commercial Open-source (GPL)

Most DivX-compatible players also play XviD — they use the same underlying MPEG-4 Part 2 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Completely free with no watermarks, no sign-up required, and no file count limits.

Is DivX still relevant?

Only for legacy hardware. Modern devices play MP4 (H.264) natively, which is more efficient. Only convert to DivX if your specific device requires it.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes. Upload multiple AVI files and convert them all with the same settings.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works in any modern browser on all devices — no app installation required.
