divx 5.0.4

just to let anyone who uses divx that a new version is out, and that the new version actually looks(encoding quality) a little better than 5.0.3

Hmm.... But the real question is, if you encode stuff in 5.04, will it work with previous versions of DivX, unlike a lot of the stuff encoded with 5.03.

There's nothing more annoying than explaining to people you need the latest version of DivX for your video to play correctly.

It's not that I'm too lazy to get the newest version, it's that I don't like a lot of the crap in versions above 5.02. Heck, I don't like DivX 5 at all, and if I didn't occasionally need to open a DivX 5-encoded video in VirtualDub, I woudln't ever have installed DivX 5 to begin with.

Uh, well, yeah. Hint: There's more to this world than Windows.

You might be, but those of us who use something else would still like to be able to work with the rest of the world.

(Actually, as it turns out, mplayer can work with DivX 5.0.3-encoded files just fine. What I'm arguing is here is the principle of the thing, though.)

Yeah...and it should also be noted that DivX is an implementation of MPEG-4.

Way to go!
