When you go to the Render settings dialogue, there should be a save output option on the main page that opens. There, you can select what format you want to save to.

Also, you have to specify the range you want to render. This is usually near the top of the dialogue box.

There is a rendering option called Video post. it's all done in there. it's a real pain though, so just look through the help files about "video Post"

The only other thing to mention is to make sure you have the right codecs installed. Having one should mean that the render program picks it up automatically and you can encode to it.

DivX isn't always installed on shared computers, especially college and school networks. You could possibly ask for it to be downloaded and added especially. If not, most avi types are compatable, I can't remember which setting I used to use before DivX.
