[MPlayer-users] problems with DivX5

hy,

i tried it too, first i did not have the new divx5, only divx4, and it can
play it too, but not very good.(you can see squares and etc...

and then i tried -vfm 5 (it uses ffmpeg's libavcodec, you can find it on
ffmpeg.sf.net), after i installed divx5, mplayer can play this file in
good quality!

ps.: the libavcodec is in docs, so i can say here rtfm; and use cvs
version of ffmpeg(after you downloaded it: cp -r ffmpeg/libavcodec/*
<mplayer_dir>/libavcodc; and then reconfigure and make mplayer, it should
help

best regards
