 Are you sure they're divx and not xvid?

 Huh. Well the only thing that I can think that would cause them not to play would be if whoever ripped the video to divx used a program that uses a funky or proprietary codec that the D3 is not equipped with. There's a program that you can find on google that will tell you the codecs that a file requires or that your player is using. Its called gspot. This should be able to tell you what codec the divx is using but I'm not sure how you'd find out if its compatible with the D3. You'd probably have to contact Pioneer customer support.

Have you gotten any divx to play? Or even dvd's for that matter?

 Gspot will be able to tell you what codec the divx requires. The reason that I asked if you were sure it is divx is because nobody rips to true divx anymore, but they still tend to call it divx. For the last couple years everything has been xvid.

If its not a codec issue then it could be a framerate issue. The processor in the D3 can most likely only play videos up to a certain framerate. Take the wii for instance. Mine is chipped so I can play divx on it, but the processor can only manage up to a 480i rip, and there's no way the D3 has a better processor then the Wii. I would have to assume that 480i is its max capacity if it can even do that. If the D3 had a decent processor it would need to have an internal cooling fan and the unit would have to be much larger to include all of the heatsinks that it would need not to melt the chip. Especially something that is already somewhat exposed to heat and installed in a confined location like the dash.

A good way to troubleshoot the issue would be to encode a video into true divx yourself and try it out. If it plays then you know the other vids were just encoded in a different format.

The other solution is to d/l a program called dvdsanta and re-encode the videos you are trying to play as a true dvd. This will mean that you will increase the file size from whatever it started as to 4.3 gigs, but you can put it in any 50 dollar dvd player and it will play. You won't be able to put multiple movies on a single disc, but at least you still won't have to pay for them.

 What type of dvds are you using to make your copies? I've had problems with some DVD players not being able to the data on DVD+R discs. If you're using the +R discs, I suggest going out to get some DVD-R discs to see if the D3 will read those.
