Divx5 not supported in TMPGenc... What do i need?

[Eyes Only]

I just installed divx5. did a capture and wanted to test in TMPGenc, but it said not supported. What am i missing so that i can encode these divx5's with tmpgenc?

.divx is not supported, but AVI's encoded with Divx 5 are.

I am also having difficulty with encoding.. i installed the divx 5 codec today and since then i have been having trouble getting any video output from both tmpegenc and virtual dub.. anyone know whats wrong?

If you install Divx 5, it will overwrite the last codec 4.8, movies made with that codec should be ok, but so far divx 5 is full of bugs.

Divx 5 has dissociated its self from Divx and will do anything to make sure its product wont work with illegal divx codec's
However this should not effect Vdub or TMPGEnc.

The latest Divx 5 player is also full of bugs, and tries to connect for updates, I'm sure eventually all divx 5 movies will play, provided the player sends your information to the server.

5 gave me a few nightmares also ... get nimos codec ( off the tools page here ) .. fixed my problems

Divx 5 was a nightmare for me too. It's long gone and so are my sound problems.

DivX 5.0 sucks major donkey balls as of right now. If you ask me, the best DivX codec(s) were the original 3.11 low/fast motion hacks of Micro$oft's mpeg-4 codec (and thus are illegal). When I encode movies to watch on my PDA, the only DivX codec that gives good results at low bitrates is 3.11, so that's what I am sticking with.
