Good to know.  As I mentioned previously, I want to
test the divx for linux codec first, then the ffmpeg
codec as a backup.  Sounds like the ffmpeg codec isn't
resilient enough for me to mess with either.  This
could prove to be a significant stumbling block.

I'm hoping someone who knows the divx for linux api
can give me a primer on how to access the decoder and
color conversion functions.  I know that
mplayer/mencoder once suported divx but I believe it
would be extremely difficult for someone like myself
(who is not familiar with the code) to find the
relevant hooks to the divx library in the legacy
mplayer/mencoder code.

Thanks

Them mountains is for animals and savages." I said, "Mother Gue, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world." And by God I was right. -- Dell Gue "Jeramiah Johnston, (1972)"
