DivX support has been discontinued, as the Change log of RC1 states:
    Decoders:
    * liba52 updated to 0.7.4 (slightly faster)
    * SSE optimizations for mp3lib
    * removed support for obsolete and non-free divx4 libraries

and

    MEncoder:
    * support of x264 encoding via libavcodec
    * rewrite -x264encopts option parser to use the 264 option parser;
      likely breaks 3rd party tools as the syntax of some options has changed
    * removed support for obsolete and non-free divx4 libraries

Alternative solutions to do the same thing (MPEG4 encoding) are XviD
and lavc mpeg4. The documentation has further infos on how to use them
