Thanks for all your replies, know that my request was only a suggestion in
order to get full DivX 5.X Pro support in MPlayer, personally I don't have any
problems playing DivX 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 Pro encodes in MPlayer for Windows (with
the exception of the quality which is most likely only worse in MPlayer
because of MPlayer's post-processing filters not being used, or possible
bug/bugs with MPlayer post-processing filters on Win32?).

Anyway, wondering if you can/should now update your compatibility list for
supported video and audio codecs on your website and documentation for this,
currently they state that 'only' DivX 5.02 is supported, guess that should be
corrected to say DivX 5.2 (or at the very least DivX 5.0.5?)?, and maybe "Pro"
should be mentioned to so newbies won't get confused ;-)
