D3 plays DivX (all versions up to and including 6).
AVI is a container format, which may contain DivX, or MPEG, or FFDSHOW.

.divx

Thats not necessarily correct. I have the first season of 'The Office' and it's in .avi format but it doesnt play in the D3.
I also have the 4th season of 'Top Gear' burned to the same type of media with the same software, and it works fine, and it is also .avi format.
I would suggest getting a Divx converter and using it for all your formats to be on the safe side.

Divx news related, but the divx owned STAGE6.com website is closing down. 
That website was awesome! I preferred it over youtube because they had high quality divx videos.

Nope.
AVI is a container and there's no way to know what's inside just by the extension. There are two synced data streams inside: Video and Audio. Those data streems can be any of the possible formats. For example, your audio stream may be MP3 and your video streem might be DivX. Together, they're synced and wrapped up into a single AVI file.

It has been confirmed that the D3 will play Divx or Xvid files. There is a program that is usually included in codec software that you install to play videos on your computer. I believe it is called fourcc or something like that. Using that program, you will be able to tell which codec is being used on avi container file and change the label so that the D3 will play it.

There's a topic somewhere on the site that tells how to convert a non-divx avi file (like xvid, etc.) to a divx avi file without doing any re-encoding (it's instant) and it plays on the D3 fine. Where is it? I have no idea... maybe Mr. Search could find it.

Yup. That's the one!

Are there any other high quality DIVX sites like Stage6? Converting from youtube files has been a bit frustrating, and the quality has been lacking (as well as the not filling the screen).

You're never going to get much out of a flv video from youtube. They're a generally low quality starting point and there's only so much you can to to upgrade the video quality.
