DviX/XviD video codecs are MPEG-4 based. If configured accordingly, they can produce MPEG-4 compatible streams. But normally they don't. Also MPEG-4 specifies also container file .mp4, but DviX traditionally uses heavily hacked .avi files. (DivX by default uses MP3 codec for audio, MPEG-4 - AAC.)
Check www.divx.com - it has list of many (not all) devices supporting DivX.

Again, DivX/XviD != MPEG-4.
