[MPlayer-users] AVI encoded file playback on other systems

[Raena Lea-Shannon]

I have searched the list digest on this topic and learnt that DivX encoded avi 
shoud playback in MacOSX on videolan and that in M$ the u$er needs DDShow or 
a Divx player.

Is this correct?

If so I have stuffed up somewhere with my DivX encoding.

Any advice on this greatly appreciated. Is it more sensible to forget DivX and 
go to another encoding?

I am encoding AV2 (OpenDML) files from Dvgrab to AV2 in raw driver. The 2 pass 
encoding with divX. Here is my test line:

:~>mencoder -endpos 1500kb -ovc divx4 -divx4opts pass=1 -oac mp3lame 
/home/raena/DV/capture008.avi -o /home/raena/TEMP/test2.avi

:~>mencoder -endpos 1500kb -ovc divx4 -divx4opts pass=2 -oac mp3lame 
/home/raena/DV/capture008.avi -o /home/raena/TEMP/test2.avi

On my XP M$ at work all I got was audio playback in the DVplayer and 
Mediaplayer.

I get a nice file I can play in mplayer but it crashed my friends Mac. This is 
the crash log from the Mac test:
