Sure there would be need to modify some dlls and stuff to make such games run with divX movies. Also the sys requirements would be a lot higher since decoding DivX isn't just as "easy" as mpeg -> Needs more RAM and such.
Well.. that's a problem, isn't it?
If someone would supply them, well... I would give a compressed movie addon a try.
if a game uses activemovie supplied by windows, simple divx-ing should work. if the game uses its own mpeg/avi-decoder or checks for fileinfo, you can forget it....

the movies are compressed with Intel Indeo, however, the approach youre saying, i think, works. im just not really sure of it since i never tried. boy, do i wish i have broadband
(edit)
RE3 uses DXMedia for movies whereas RE2 (and Dino Crisis if anybody cares ), like i said earlier, uses Intel Indeo.
DivX-ing would need u to install the codec and an mp3 codec that's all no other stuff to play the game...and i think RE2 doesn't have it's own decoding dlls and shtuff, it's indeo if i remember cuz it has an option in the autorun to install it....dammit searching CDs is a lot of pain :\
