How to convert XVID to DIVX

Every full re-encode is lossy - XVID and DIVX are both MPEG-4 ASP, so you only lose quality, never gain it.
The .xvid extension is informal; these files are standard AVI containers, and simply renaming .xvid to .avi often makes the file play without any conversion at all.
If your goal is modern device compatibility - phones, smart TVs, or cloud storage - convert to H.264 in an .mp4 container instead.

Is there any quality benefit to converting XVID to DIVX?

No. Both use identical MPEG-4 ASP compression. A re-encode only loses quality; it never improves it.

Why convert at all if they use the same codec?

Old DivX-Certified players check the FourCC tag in the AVI header and may reject XVID-labelled files, accepting only files tagged DIVX or DX50.

Can I avoid re-encoding to prevent quality loss?

Yes - use ffmpeg -c:v copy -vtag DX50 to rewrite only the stream tag, leaving all video data untouched.

What if I want wider device support today?

Skip DivX entirely and convert to H.264 in an .mp4 container using HandBrake - it plays on virtually every device made since 2010.
