Difference Between XviD And DivX codec

A Xvid and DivX are both video compression formats that shrink the size of video files to make them easier to upload to the internet and more transportable, especially for portable media players, mobile phones and tablets.

The main difference is that Xvid is an open-source standard, whereas DivX is owned by the Rovi corporation (formerly Macromedia).

You don’t need to burn them as ISO files. If you have them as files on your PC, you can just burn them to a CD or DVD as you would with any normal file.

Newer operating systems may play these files natively in the standard video player. However you may need a codec to play them on an older system. A popular player that will play both types of files, and many others, is VLC, available from www.videolan.org/vlc.
