which codec is being used?

Is there any way I can tell whether 3.11 or 5.0.2 is being used to decode my divx movies?

In Windows 98, it goes this way: right click on the AVI, go to the properties then to the details, if you have DIVXMPG4 V3, it's DivX 3.11, if you have DivX, it is DivX 4 or later

But that just tells me which one was used to encode the file, right? Is there any way to tell if 5.0.2 is decoding the file or if 3.11 is? Or did they fix the bug where 5.0 would take over decoding for 3.11?

If you don't want DivX 5.0.2 to decode your divX 3.11 movies, you should install ffdshow. It can play DivX 3, 4, and Xvid without any problem. It uses less cpu, and you can have some usefull postprocessing filters : sharpen, blur, noise.

For your question, open your movie with WMP, right click on the image, go to properties -> advanced option, and look at the list of filter used to playback the movie.
