Bittorrent and Divx question

When bittorrent avis are done, you're supposed to be able to just play them with any video file player, right?
Also, can DivX read Xvid, whatever it is?

Any file you get with BT can be read by the proper program when completed
Divx can't read anything since it's a video format. If you want to read avis with the Xvid codec you need the codec installed somewhere.

FFDShow can run both XviD and DivX, if you have that installed. Otherwise, you need codecs for both XviD and DivX (as XviD uses a different 4CC tag at the start of the file).
BitTorrent is simply a means of getting a file. Files acquired via BitTorrent are identical to ones acquired by other means.
