Allow DivX 5 decoder to playback XviD content

[Nocturnus]

...as the topic.
Is there any way to do it without FourCC changing ?

[JohnMK]

As DivX is now turning into a commercial entity, and commercial entities always despise open source competition, I really doubt that will be happening soon. Could the opposite ever happen though?

[Acaila]

The best way would indeed be changing the FOURCC. However even if you got it to work without changing the FOURCC the DivX5 decoder would still not be able to decode XviD's MPEG quant matrix correctly. The DivX5 decoder has always had this problem, so until it gets "fixed" you're left with either XviD's own decoder of ffdshow.

Actually some of my movies are encoded in XviD and overburned into 700mb cds in data mode 2.
In that way I could fit 830 mb files into standard cds.
I can't edit files in any way after copying them to hdd.
Files seems to be broken.
I tried AviC (FouCC changer)without any results.
I don't want really use ffdshow.
DivX 5 decoder has a unique Extended Overlay option which affects movie playback under PowerDVD XP. Without option mentioned above enabled, after applying fullscreen mode image is stretched to fullscreen....

Ok.
I discovered new way to play XviD contend.
I just sat down with hexadecimal translation book for few minutes and....

Now you doesn't have to install XviD codec to play its content.
