I almost made that response myself, but I'm fairly sure the pre7 build
didn't default to FMP4, since that's what I believe I started with and had
no problems until I later updated to a CVS build (my hardware player didn't
recognize FMP4). I could be wrong, though.

If it is the FMP4 fourcc, that can be changed with -ffourcc DIVX on the
command line (it doesn't have to be DIVX. It can be any common, compatible
4CC code like DX50 or XVID)
