Never tried DivX (only Xvid, also mpeg-4), but a good program is Nandub, a VirtualDub mod. If all you want to do is cut and splice, just load the .avi and select direct stream copy under the processing settings.
AVIsynth and MeGUI/QuEnc as an encoder works for me but I am guessing you do not want to learn the ins and outs of AVIsynth.
Nandub has a tendency to create less than compliant files (which can vary from needing an obscure splitter to refusing to play on a standalone). I understand it is a bit better presently but I would still advise against it.
Virtualdub is OK but it uses the somewhat obscure VFW interface as far as I recall, of course you could feed it an AVIsynth script or use vdubmod's open with AVIsynth. http://www.virtualdub.org/
Anyhow there are two main methods of video playback
VFW: video for windows, an older method falling somewhat out of favour.
Directshow (part of directX), what all the cool kids are using these days instead, newer codecs and older programs do not agree with it.
Either open it with directshow, if you have avisynth installed the make a text document with the following line
directshowsource("videoname.divx")
you could also try installing a VFW version of XVID but I am unsure if the 4cc (DX50) is supported. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Koepi_XviD.htm

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
