Another aspect is that divx and xvid are legacy codecs - 2 generation old. So if codecs were ReadyNAS, divx/xvid would be the ReadyNAS NV+ v1. Divx video with mp3 audio was a popular choice for SD video downloads and torrents a few years ago, but were rapidly replaced by MP4s (H.264 video + AAC audio) in 2012.
H.264 is significantly better than divx, and H.265 (standardized about a year ago) is twice as good as H.264
