6960 87deea511b1f continuing paragraph reformatting gabucino parents: 6906 diff changeset	55 <P>The new generation of this codec is called DivX4 and can even decode
87deea511b1f continuing paragraph reformatting gabucino parents: 6906 diff changeset	56 movies made with the infamous DivX codec! In addition it is much faster than
87deea511b1f continuing paragraph reformatting gabucino parents: 6906 diff changeset	57 the native Win32 DivX DLLs but slower than libavcodec. Hence its usage as a
87deea511b1f continuing paragraph reformatting gabucino parents: 6906 diff changeset	58 decoder is <B>DISCOURAGED</B>. However, it is useful for encoding. One
87deea511b1f continuing paragraph reformatting gabucino parents: 6906 diff changeset	59 disadvantage of this codec is that it is currently closed source.</P>
