can someone tell me what the difference is?

i have the same movie but xvid takes 3 cd and divx takes only 2.

they both have same width and height.

the only difference is that the xvid one has 384kps audio and video is 23fps, data rate is 221kps, video sample size is 12 bit. the divx one has 149kps audio and video is 25fps, data rate is 153kps, video sample size is 24 bit.

however i don't notice big difference between them.... which codecs is suppose to be better?
