Thanks you very much for your answer ;-))
So my P3 is way to slow... I have done only one divx encoding (it was at
the begining of memcoder) and the result was really tremendous (two
pass) but it took me a long long long time to encode...

So I have to change my MB/CPU, do you have any recommendation?
I mean between K7/P4/G4?
Any MB are better for that?

Thanks you very much for all info and for mplayer ;-))
