+A2: Since 0.18pre4 we include libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains

    right under the movie! Whose fault is this?
 A: It's the nVidia X driver's. These bugs are ONLY with the TNT/TNT2 cards,

+Q: What exactly is this libavcodec?
+A: It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net).
+   It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX codec.  Some benchmarks
+   showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without
+   preprocessing, and only a few percent slower than ProjectMayo's OpenDivX
+   decoder.  It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV.
+   Also, open the possibility to play DivX on virtually every computer that
+   has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it?
