[MPlayer-dev-eng] Not so clever: using new fourcc code for lavc encodings

Hi,

I just noticed that 1.0pre7 does not use the fourcc code "DIVX"
for -ovc lavc encodings anymore. This causes other players -
like mplayer1.0pre6 and many more - to declare themselves unable
to play the file because of an "unknown codec".

Yes, I know, there's the "-ofourcc" option - but isn't it
a bad idea anyway to change the default?

At least as long as no features are used that are known to be
incompatible with "DIVX" decoders, the old default should be used...

Regards,

Peter Niemayer
