"Recently I am working on a really exciting project, which is to teach students in remote area. During my teaching, I found some of my videos filmed in .mov are not able to play on Windows media player. Accidentally I found DivX AVI is okay to stream and play on my player. Is there any way to convert MOV to DivX AVI so that I can continue my teaching smoothly? "

No problem. This post is going to help and present some solutions to convert MOV to DivX.

Part 1: What are MOV and DivX

Similar to MP4, MOV is able to play on QuickTime but it is less popular than MP4. MOV files may contain video, audio, timecode, and text tracks, which can be used to store and synchronize different types of media. Each media track may be encoded using one of several different codecs. In order to play a MOV file, an application must be able to recognize the specific codec(s) used in the file. Sometimes MOV has problems with Windows media player and it is better to convert MOV to a more popular format in order to play it trouble free.

DivX can be presented in DivX AVI and DivX MKV for different definition videos. It is a rental format variation on the DVD player in which a customer needs to buy a DivX disc for 2-day viewing and continued viewing will require continuation fee. Currently many movies are available in this format, such as The Edge and Liar Liar. If you want to convert MOV to DivX, you probably need to find some tool to help. Fortunately, there are plenty to try and among all, I will recommend Leawo Video Converter and online converter to you.
