[Info on debugging] DivX Kauehi prevents debugging

[Kurosu]

After wasting hours trying to figure what that sudden pop up (Protection Error; Debugger detected - please close it down and restart!) was, I managed to isolate the problem.

DivX Kauehi (the "beta" version of the codec by DivX Networks) has such a protection that kicks in whenever an application using it is loaded for debugging, for instance VirtualDub when debugging an avisynth filter. I believe it will happen with every software requesting info from VfW coder interface. I haven't tested extensively, as I was busy removing that annoying stuff.

After spyware, paranoïd protections... Geez...

It might have been specified somewhere and carefull readers will have noticed it easily maybe, but I guess I might not be the only one in this situation...

hehe, actually the rest of the messagebox was talking about such progs (as services under NT/2K), so I guess they already check that. But I don't need to be able to debug divx: the best solution is simply to remove it!
