All codecs registered with "Video For Windows" (which is an old
multimedia API for windows) will show up. I know that older versions of
DivX worked with VFW but I haven't worked with DivX in years. My guess
is that they dropped that interface?

You can always create uncompressed AVI files and encode them in another
application. Quicktime Pro, Windows Media Encoder, or the one I use,
VideoMach. I'm sure there are many more...
