You do need a MPEG2 decoder of some sort. I think VLC comes with on built-in. Basically any other will use whatever's installed on your computer. If you install PowerDVD then use Media Player Classic, it'll probably use PowerDVD's decoder.

I recommend VLC all the way. You never need to download codecs and the quality is great

Divx won't affect whether you can play a DVD or not. Make sure that you have a DVD decoder installed. You can try downloading VLC and see if that will play a DVD, but if that doesn't work, then you need a decoder.
