sounds like a typical tactic of the DiVX crew... yuck. 
There are just an absurd number of alphas, and betas
out there.

Why bother?  I'm not interesting.
But... maybe "Ballet pour ma fille" will be.

I didn't test "the playa" yet. The codec works fine with M$ media player.

yeah it works fine for the M$ product- its just a
codec.  I use BINK to encode and it can handle encoding
to DiVX just fine too once the codecs are in... NOT
that I ever DO that, MIND you... :)

I'm using BINK too. It gives good compression results too. But bik-files 
aren't playable without BINK. O.k. one can make an executable , but I 
once tried it in this group and many people didn't download because of 
possible malicious code (they're right).
So now I use BINK to make bik-files and then I convert them to DivX or 
whatever.

Hmm...  POV available for just about every system you can think of,
Divx 4 available for... windows.  What's the problem?  This said, I'm
assuming there's no alternate compatable version for macs?

... and for Linux and MacOS too, since it is open source.

I just went to www.divx.com and downloaded the last Mac version of the codec.
No difference, the animation is still impossible to view.

Nope, didn't work.
I just went to www.divx.com and downloaded the Mac version of the codec.
No difference, this animation is just as impossible to view as the original
one.
