I searched the forums with no hits to this topic.

Divx 5.1 uses 100% CPU in Windows media player 6.4 . You can monitor with task manager as you open the file up and boom 100% and the video slows down because of the usage. Weird thing is, I never noticed this as a problem in the past. I just did a clean install of Windows 2000 and this is the first codec I have installed. Is this a bug or What??


UPDATE:

I realized checking the 'overlay' box creates hardware acceleration which reduces the cpu usage. So instead of keeping Divx 5.1.1 I uninstalled it and download 3IVX D4.5 and amazingly the quality is way better decoding Divx files than Divx themselves!!
