Has anyone had any luck playing AVIs encoded with the DivX ;-) codec?

I installed the avi-file port, and it does okay with small AVIs, but it
just hangs there with the really big (500-600MB) ones.

The problem output reads:

At which point I usually have to suspend and kill it, it sucks like a
bunch of CPU time, though, but it really doesn't do anything no matter
how much time I leave it.

System info:

FreeBSD brx.no-ip.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 23

It's an AMD Duron 700, 128MB RAM, so it oughtta be able to hack the
codec, so I don't think it's the machine per se.

Has anyone had more positive experiences or had this problem and
corrected it?

Are there any alternatives to avifile?

BRx.
