Re: DivX

DivX, if you are looking for divx players for x86, almost 100% of them will 
use Win32 dlls to do the decoding, so finding one for Alpha is difficult.  
Luckily, ffmpeg exists, and it can be put together with mplayer to provide 
codecs for almost all divx out there.  Thats what i use, i can play 9 out of 
10 divx that i can find, which i find to be satisfactory.  If you look at the 
archives of this list, there was talk of this before (i remember cause im the 
one who initiated it), and there was a link to a tarball which the sources to 
mplayer and ffmpeg together, tahts what i used, and still use.  If you cant 
find it, send me an email, and i'll try to find it on my harddrive somewhere.
