i dont think so, as thats simply the way how divx5 and xvid mark packed bitstream AND a decoder should NOT look at the user data and in fact no decoder does it atm, except the one from xvid

And... I remember some people on the DivX forum wanting a tool that could detect the exact version of DivX that was used in an encode. Could this tool do this?
should be possible
someone would have to investigate which version number used which "bitstream version" and create a list

i dont really like the idea that people can mess around with the user data, its simply a very accurate way to identify the used codec (including some codec settings) and there shouldnt be a reason why to change it (except with the xvid decoder, which syskin already announced to change to not care about the user data anymore )
