I wonder for what i would need divx4linux? Can i watch avi files with that? Divx capability seems to be allready present because i can save divx files with "zapping" (a gtk tv prog) but no package "divx4linux" is installed. So for what woudl i need to intsall the dix4linux package? How will i be able to watch avi? Will there really be just one divx engine or codec present on my partitions? What about packing divx5 w/o adverts?

Its the official divx codec from www.divx.com
Why you need it? Dont know, probably some program uses it to record avi's with.

basicly avi is just a container for an audio and a video stream. For example you can have a mp3 audio stream and divx video stream or a vorbis audio stream and a xvid video stream.
