DivX 5.0.3 crash

[George Shuklin]

Hi all.

DivX 5.0.3 compiled for P-II processor and traped with "unknown opcode" exception when running at P-I processor.

Sux.

I'm probably misunderstanding you, but you compiled DivX 5 yourself? How is that possible since the codec is closed source?

It's quite understandable that something compiled for a certain processor won't necessarily run on an older model. A P-II CPU can perform tasks (= has opcodes) that a P-I cannot, so if you don't take that into consideration during compiling it's bound to go wrong somewhere.
IIRC a P-II has MMX capability whereas a P-I does not. MMX is required to run (modern) video codecs.
