| The answer is, don't. Use libavcodec to encode mpeg4, which is the
| same format "divx" uses; they just call it "divx" to sound elite.

when i used this codec it screwed up the resolution. the doc's say to use
divx4 because it will preserve this information. that's the reason i was
trying to get divx4 to work.
