[Pendragon]

hi,
can i install the two codecs at same time?
if i install one codec, the other has gone.
using virtuell dub i need divx4.12, divx5.0 didnt function under win-xp on my pc.
but i want to encode my new films with divx5.0.

any idea?
thanks

german:
hallo zusammen,
kann man die beiden codecs parallel installieren?
virtuell dub funzt bei mir nur mit 4.12.
rippen würde ich aber gerne mit divx 5.0.
sobald ich einen codec installiere ist der andere weg!

gibts ne lösung?

danke.

There's a post that explains how somewhere around here. I don't know how it's called, so search around.

I saved the description in a readme file (the XP description also works for Win2k):


Use Divx 5 and Divx 4.12 at the same time:

For Windows ME & 98

First install Divx4.12 , goto to windows\system folder and rename divx.dll
in divx4.dll. Open system.ini in windows folder and find under drivers32

vidc.DIVX=DivX.dll and change it to vidc.DVX4=DivX4.dll

Now open regedit

Editing register
Under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
create new value
vidc.dvx4=DivX4.dll

Under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\]
create new keywith name vidc.DVX4

and under that key enter new strings
"Description"="DivX Codec 4.12"
"Driver"="DivX4.dll"
"FriendlyName"="DivX Codec 4.12"

Now you can start VirtualDub and under Compression you'll see Divx 4.12 and when you click on it will show "Divx4.dll" . Now you can install Divx5.



For Windows XP

Install Divx4.12 ,rename divx.dll under windows\system32 in to divx4.dll

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"vidc.DVX4"="DivX4.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MediaResources\icm\]
create new Key
vidc.DVX4

and under that key new strings
Description=Divx 4.12
Driver=DivX4.dll

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\MediaResources\icm]
creat new Key
vidc.DVX4

and under that key new strings
Description=Divx 4.12
Driver=DivX4.dll

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm]
create new Key
vidc.DVX4

and under that key new strings
Description=Divx 4.12
Driver=DivX4.dll

theReal, good work!

Since the post is yours, what do you think of copying it to divx5 Q&A?
I think it should be there.

I did not write the description, I only saved it from the other thread mentioned above.

*edit* ok, to get the credits straight: the info was originally posted by ffrom in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19300)

I agree it would be a good idea to save this somewhere in the guides or help section - I guess this question is going to be asked more than once in the near future.

Good idea, I added a link to the original thread in the DivX5 Q&A.
