divx4

[Brett I. Holcomb]

The web site mentions that it has DVD capabilities in it - and tells you what you need to to encrypted!  A nice change from xine.

I'm getting ready to merge xine on my Gentoo and wanted to find out what I really needed (I installed xine on a WS 3.1 and remember having to sort through all the mess to find out what was what-  but that was a while ago).  After reading the xine docs and websites I went to your SxS on xine.  The xine project isn't the best at really telling you what does what and what you need to do what you want!
