yes!

it is the first open-source DivX ;-) (a.k.a. MS-Mpeg4) codec.
it's unoptimized yet, but in the future we (together with ffmpeg guys)
will optimize it. and it has some other advantages oter DLL file:
- we can make partial blit -> much better cache usage at display
- it supports YV12 pixel format (uses less VGA bandwith -> faster)
