Hi all Mplayer-devs, I'm not a programmar but I like to make request if I
may;

That is, would it please be possible for you to code support into your
DLL-loader for divxdec.ax from the DivX/DivX Pro 5.2 distro to use as the
primary (or optional via codec.conf) decode codec for FourCC "DIV5" and "div5"
(and of course only those two FourCC)?

Is you guys accept this suggestion and challange then MPlayer would be fully
DivX 5.0/5.1/5.2 compatible, thus get the maximum quality possible when
decoding the latest DivX Pro 5.x encodes. If this is not feasable it would be
great if you please give an technical explaination on why?

Thanks in advance from a humble MPlayer fan =) regards / Andreas

PS! Maybe you can actually ask DivXNetworks Inc. (www.divx.com) for official
or unofficial assiastance in coding this for MPlayer, as even though
DivXNetworks is a commersial company they might like to help the open source
community in this case as speading the support for their codec benifits them
too.
