    Is DivX a type of AVI format
    here's the definition:
    DivX
    DivX™ is a new format for digital video, much like MP3 is a format for digital music. DivX™ is the brand name of a patent-pending video compression technology created by DivXNetworks, Inc., (also known as Project Mayo). The DivX™ codec is based on the MPEG-4 compression standard. This codec is so advanced that it can reduce an MPEG-2 video (the same format used for DVD or Pay-Per-View) to ten percent of its original size. DivX.com.

    from the glossary: https://www.videohelp.com/glossary

    I think it's proper to say Divx is a codec within the avi format.
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1
