    The xcard is an awesome card but currently i have alot of divx in the 3.xxx version. I don;t really want to convert them to 4.02 cause it will take too long. I was wondering if there is a way to play these through my xcard. thank you

    Divx 3.xxx was created from a hacked Microsoft Codec and so, strictly speaking, is illegal. From 4.00 onwards it was re-written from scratch so is perfectly OK. No HW manufacturer with any brains is going to produce a card that will decode those files. So the only chance you have is SW playback or re-encode to 4.xx or above.
