OK. I burned two 2GB AVIs onto a DVD disk as data and then bought the
Panasonic DMR-EZ475V (Costco item #200475) for $279 USD + California tax

The Panasonic DMR-EZ475 had a lot of features (digital tuner, plays DivX on
DVD media, plays MP3 on CDROM media, burns VHS & SD to DVD, etc.).

Interestingly, the Panasonic DMR-EZ475 played downloaded movie AVIs but it
did NOT play my camera AVIs. Huh? What's the difference? Isn't an AVI and
AVI?

Maybe not.

Is there a difference between digital-camera AVIs and movie AVIs?
If so, is there a way to convert digital-camera AVIs to movie AVIs?

Is there a program that will tell me before-the-fact which AVIs will play
in a DivX-certified player versus those AVIs which will not play in a
DivX-certified player?
