<P>This section contains information about the DivX4 codec of
<A HREF="http://www.projectmayo.com">ProjectMayo</A>. Their first available alpha version was the OpenDivX 4.0
alpha 47 and 48. Support for this was/is included in <B>MPlayer</B>, and built by
default. We even used its postprocessing code to optionally enhance visual
quality of MPEG1/2 movies.</P>

<P>The new generation of this codec can even decode movies made with the
infamous DivX codec! And it's not everything, it's MUCH faster than the
traditional Win32 DivX DLL's. See below for configuration. The only
disadvantage of this codec is that it's currently closed-source. :(</P>

image data in YV12 (planar YUV 4:2:0) format, thus requiring much less
bandwidth on the bus. For packed YUV modes (YUY2, UYVY) use the 'divx4'
method. For RGB modes you can choose freely, their speed is same, maybe
differ according to the current bpp.</P>

<P>Note: it supports postprocessing too, but range of values is strange:</P>

<P>Symlinking is NOT enough, you have to copy/move it!!!</P>

<P>./configure detects if it can be built. At the moment it doesn't support
postprocessing, and is under optimization (it's faster than the DS/VfW DivX
codec).</P>

<P>In order to use it, refresh your codecs.conf file, and do as the manpage,
or the example.conf says (the -vfm option).</P>

<P>Note: libavcodec contains other codecs as well, but at the moment we mostly
focus on ffdivx, and it's unlikely that this will change.</P>
