MPEG-4 is designed for high quality web streaming video. It is similar to H.263 (video conferencing CODEC)
The quality is excellent even at low datarates. Microsoft has its own implementation in the new ASF format.
DivX old hacks
The old DivX was a simply Microsoft source code for the MPEG-4 from their SDK and hacked very slightly so it could be used in AVI format. DiviX as a codec is the same as used in ASF, however ASF is build as streaming format (you don't have to download the whole thing to play it - unlike AVI) so it has different structure.
Because inside the original DiviX was a Microsoft code it may hapened that they will legaly go against DiviX and other copycats. The other codecs went with various names such as AngelPotion etc.. but they all used the same code.
