Shouldn't they just be avi or is it some other container?

I believe .avi is fine.

The early versions of divx (3, IIRC - but it may aswell have been later) came with a little utility that offered to automatically rename all .avis to .divx...
I never understood why anyone would actually use the .divx-extension except for the initial leetness-factor, so I also agree that there should be no such extension-entry.

I think they merely wanted to promote their weird "DivX-Player"... -_-"
