I'm a little surprised to see *that* name in this context, since as far
as I remember the only place I've revealed it around MPlayer is in the
AUTHORS file. Not that I particularly mind, although most people reading
through these commits probably won't recognize the name; it's just
somewhat unexpected.

If you're going to use this form (which I sort of prefer, as although
it's 100% valid I didn't really like the use of "DivX's"), I would say
"much better than DivX does".

And that looks like the final change, at least from me; a shorter cycle
to perfection than usual, eh? ^_^
