Hi,

I want to use the divx codec from http://www.divx.com/, this one or it's
dll
is the file divxdec.ax in (winhome)\system32.

When I looked in the codecs.conf, I found the codec divxds using
the dll divx_c32.ax:


videocodec divxds
  info "DivX ;-) (MS MPEG-4 v3)"
  comment "with postprocessing"
  status working
  fourcc MP43,mp43 div3   ; fourcc mapping to div3
  fourcc DIV5,div5 div3
  fourcc DIV6,div6 div4
  fourcc DIV3,div3,DIV4,div4
  fourcc AP41 div3	  ; AngelPotion stuff
  driver dshow
  dll "divx_c32.ax"
  guid 0x82CCd3E0, 0xF71A, 0x11D0, 0x9f, 0xe5, 0x00, 0x60, 0x97, 0x78,
0xaa, 0xaa
  out YUY2,UYVY
  out BGR32,BGR24,BGR16,BGR15

I changed 
dll "divx_c32.ax"
to
dll "divxdec.ax"

but either as well with divx_c32 as with divxdec.ax, I get the message

========================================================================
==
Forced video codec: divxds
Requested video codec family [divxds] (vfm=dshow) not available (enable
it at compilation)
get_path('codecs.conf') -> '/cygdrive/c/.mplayer/codecs.conf'
*** Try to upgrade /cygdrive/c/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html!
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564944.
========================================================================
==

But how can I enable it at compilation?
Or how can I use this divx codec? It looks like that the image quality
with
the m$ mplayer2 or wmplayer is much better then with the 
default
"Selected video codec: [ffdivx] vfm:ffmpeg (FFmpeg DivX ;-) (MS MPEG-4
v3))".

Also the codec

videocodec divx4vfw
  info "DivX4Windows-VFW"
  status buggy
  comment "sig11 with -framedrop"
  fourcc DIVX,divx        ; opendivx / divx4
  fourcc DIV1,div1 divx
;  fourcc MP4S,mp4s	  ; ISO MPEG-4 Video V1
  fourcc MP43,mp43,DIV3,div3,DIV4,div4 DIV3  ; for DivX4Linux only!
  fourcc AP41 DIV3	  ; AngelPotion stuff
  format 0x4
  driver vfw
  dll "divx.dll"
;  out YV12   ; buggy
  out YUY2
  out BGR32,BGR24,BGR15

doesn't work, even not if I replace "divx.dll" with "divxdec.ax"..

Thank you in advance,
Alex
