converting divx file to avi or mpeg2

My son has sent me some video/audio clips that he filmed using a helmet cam and I believe a Samsung recorder (little bitty dang thing that records on chips). I can't open the files in VMS as they appear to be divx files and apparently VMS doesn't have the ability to encode these files. I want to get these files into VMS? Is there a simple encoding, easy to use, program out there (hopefully freeware) that I can use? thanks in advance..

I had the same issue. I used VirtualDub (freeware) to convert it. VirtualDub also detects errors in the original video if there are any. In my case, there were audio issues. I used VirtualDub to save the audio from the original as a WAV. Then I re-encoded the video with the audio offset corrected. Just Google Virtual Dub. It's very popular.
