No, MPEG4 defines different profiles. 

OpenDivX (and DivX4) implements the "Simple Profile" which has no B-frames. 

B-frames are part of "Main Profile" (and up), but this has and many many 
other things, as well. I don't know of any running codec that is compliant 
with the "Main Profile". I doubt you will find any such contents at the 
moment.
