A more surefire way in quicktime would be to click on window, show movie inspector. What does it say under format? If it's DX50 then yes, DivX would work. If it's something else you'll have to search for it.
Flip4Mac adds the capability to view WMV and ASF files. DivX would be for DivX-encoded AVI's. Perian adds a plethora of additional codecs for AVI.
If you find an AVI encoded in a really exotic format (in particular in a codec not available for QuickTime), try VLC or MPlayer OS X.
