Okay, here, when I check :

Checking for DivX4linux/DivX5linux/OpenDivX decore ... no
Checking for XviD/DivX4linux encore (for mencoder) ... no

Something's gotta be wrong. It does detect the w32codecs that include :
divxa32.acm
divx_c32.ax
divxc32.dll
divxdec.ax
divx.dll

so that's why I'm a little lost here not beeing able to get the Divx to 
work.

Aaah, okay. So this would work just like ntuxplayer.

That's fine. I have P4 1,6Ghz (I think).

Okay, I'll first try go get at least a DivX running. I'll check the 
letterboxing later. One thing at a time for such a newbie I am. ;) But I 
will use only 720x576 PAL standard MPEG tv format... So I don't think I 
will need letter boxing, it should fit just right. I'm doing my own DivX 
files...

Okay, I'll try something like that. But I'm having just a regular MPEG2, 
720x576 / 25fps PAL. I could give you my FTP server (32kB/s), for 
downloading my 14.17mB file. A little less than 30 seconds.

It does. Let's get things running now ! I'll let you know
