Avidemux2 and DivX

[GolovachLena]

Is anybody using Avidemux2 on linux box?
I tried version 2.0.16 on Slackware 9.1 and it worked with Xvid ok. But i got strange message about DivX while compiling, it says that DivX support disabled, and i can't see why. How can i enable Divx in Avidemux, any ideas?

It looks like it needs divx 5.05 installed. You either don't have divx or you have the newer version installed. After you do the ./configure step look through config.log and configure (the files) for details of what it's looking for and how it checks.

I got the following when I ran the ./configure step:

GTK+ version : 2.2.4
Divx5.0.5 ? : no
*** DISABLED ***
Xvid Codec : yes
Xvid CVS Codec : no

This was for avidemux-2.0.18. You could try looking for a cvs version if you want a newer version of divx to be supported. Or ask questions in the avidemux forum.

It is disabled because it crashes on P4
And divxnetwork never even acknowledged the bug

Since i have a P4, it is disabled as i don't want to release untested code.

You are probably good with xvid and lavcodec anyway

(BTW if you use 2.0.18 you probably want to upgrade to avidemux2 cvs as i accidentally disabled mmx optimisation for xvid on 2.0.18, 45 fps -> 12 fps :()

Thank you! At least it's crystal clear why.
