DivXNetworks guys have been pretty busy tweaking their codec lately and this new version, DivX 5.02, definately fixes some serious issues that DivX5 used to have.
Mostly all tweaks are related to playback optimization -- with my P3/500 you just _couldn't_ watch DivX5 encoded videos with DivX5 codec when the bitrate and the resolution were high enough. Now the codec offers quite a nice range of settings you can turn on and off to see how it effects to your DivX playback performance. DivXNetworks says that now P3/466 should be able to play 640x480 video which uses GMC and B-frames while using 80% of the CPU power, which is a significant improvement over 5.01.
Anyway, you can download the ad-free version from here:
