Hello Alberto

MPLayer 
http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/homepage/
will work with DivX. It is mostly GPL but contains
some parts that cannot be distributed as binaries.

Due to this and patent issues it cannot be
distributed with Debian
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package

Your posting is perhaps a little off-topic for 
Debian laptop (as it is not a laptop-specific
issue), and might have been better put
to Debian user.
