[MPlayer-users] Dark video on DivX playback

[Chad Granum]

xvid has given me trouble before, you can fix it by reading the docs and
installing libavcodec and/or divx5linux (links and info are in doc's for
both)
then for configure

./configure --disable-xvid --enable-libavcodec --enable-divx4linux

yes thats divx4linux to get divx5linux working, not a typeo, go figure.
