+A2: Since 0.18pre4 we include libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains

+Q: What exactly is this libavcodec?
+A: It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net).
+ It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX codec. Some benchmarks

+ decoder. It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV.
+ Also, open the possibility to play DivX on virtually every computer that
+ has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it?
