So what's the difference between Xvid and DivX? Do I need this if I have the latest DivX installed?

[PaRtH]

Not actually if you are using 32 bit version..as main change here is for 64bit systems. And also if you are only using codecs for watching only,then you only need some codec pack (i.e K-Lite mega codec pack) or VLC/GOM player... :)

Xvid videos are quite good in quality and also its open source... :)

Do I need this if I have the latest DivX installed?

Xvid is a codec for MPEG4/DivX/Xvid movies. You don't need to install DivX.

yes, but VLC has terrible performances and the built-in codecs are outdated.
