OpenDivx is an ancient codec, the predecessor to divx4 before
divxnetworks decided to close the source back up. MPlayer used to
include opendivx source, but it was removed because of license issues
and because there was no point in having it. It's totally useless. (It
can't decode anything but opendivx-produced files, which are
nonexistent, and which lavc decodes fine anyway.)
