they develop something new, not compatible with the well-known divx format.
btw their stuff is good, yes, it's slow, but quality is good imho.

Gerard Lantau, the ffmpeg developer. he wrote a small prog which grab and
stream to all known movie formats using mpeg 1, opendigx, h263 and other
formats. now he added decoding and msmpeg4 *aka divx) support.

they are hard working on that, including the new divx, and the compatible
decoder, but it is not public yet because of legal issues :(

yes!
