I installed Divx 6.5, then when I open up VS and try to save... select AVI, then options, then AVI tab, the drop down does not show Divx as an option.
Anything I can do?
Divx codec installed but not available

Are you running WinXP or Vista? The DivX codec should show in the Compression pull-down menu, of the AVI tab.
View System Specifications for DivX:

It should not require re-installing to get VS to recognize the new codec, but if all else fails then you might try doing a repair. Be sure to back-up any filters, effects, etc. that you have personally created or installed prior to doing a repair or re-install.

I don't see Divx as being supported in Vista according to this link:

I've also tried and failed to see the DivX codec. I'm using VS 10 Standard and Vista Business. Does VS 11 support DivX output in Vista?vidoman wrote:I just took a quick look through the Encoding in DivX link. I'm more convinced that the reason the OP can not see the DivX codec in his AVI compression menu, is due to it being an MPEG-4, and that VS with Vista does not support MPEG-4.
For what it's worth VirtualDub can use the DivX encoder with no problem.
This is important to me because a digital picture frame I bought only supports DivX movies.
TIA,

I had the exact same problem when I first installed Vista, not only with DivX but several other codecs as well. I since found the solution, which apparently is a well-known old bug in XP. Vista must have inherited it 
Anyway, here is the original description for the XP fix:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DRIVERS32] called "vidc.uldx"=""
When I removed this one, all my codecs showed up again in VS as well as VirtualDub. So search for all codecs in the registry, and delete all empty ones you may find. And a backup before you do may be wise too.
Anyway, here is the original description for the XP fix:This didn't help me directly, but I searched my entire registry for empty codecs, and I had one in another location, namely here:DeXT

Dissappearing CODECs in XP: FIX!!
Well I discovered this some weeks ago but only published it in a spanish forum (www.peque.org).
As you know, seems there is a 'bug' in XP, perhaps related to DivX 4 and up, which causes CODECs "dissappearing", so you cant install any new CODEC and the only solution being format and reinstall.
The fact is, I discovered what causes this and how to fix it without the need to reinstall everything again. The procedure is as follows:
1. Search the followind Key in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
2. You'll see a list of values containing FOURCC references and CODECs, such as:
"VIDC.I420"="msh263.drv"
"VIDC.IYUV"="iyuv_32.dll"
"vidc.iv50"="ir50_32.dll"
"msacm.l3acm"="D:\WINXP\System32\l3codeca.acm"
"vidc.DIV3"="DivXc32.dll"
"vidc.DIV4"="DivXc32f.dll"
"msacm.divxa32"="DivXa32.acm"
"vidc.DIVX"="DivX.dll"
"vidc.BT20"=""
Look at the empty one (vidc.BT20). Search empty values like this one and delete 'em (they are useless).
3. Enjoy your full list of CODECs again!!
The fun part is, seems no one was able to discover this even on the DivX official forum where there have been lots of requests for this subject. I did it with Sysinternals' RegMon utility. VDub reported an OVERFLOW error while enumerating the CODEC list so this was easy to track down.
Hope you find it useful. And if anyone wishes to publish it in a FAQ, just do it.
Regards,
DeXT
