To my knowledge, there is no port in the ports collection that allows you t= o=20 encode with the DivX codec (as provided by divx.com). The reason for this i= s=20 mostly that the DivX codec is only available as Linux binary (stay AWAY fro= m=20 multimedia/libdivxdecore* and multimedia/libdivxencore - they are incredibl= y=20 outdated and shouldn't be used for anything by anyone). However, multimedia/transcode (and the transcode-frontend multimedia/dvdrip= ),=20 mencoder (multimedia/mplayer) and possibly others can use XviD=20 (multimedia/xvid, a free mpeg4 codec that's wide-spread in the Windows worl= d=20 as well) or ffmpeg's (multimedia/ffmpeg) 'mpeg4' codec, which produces outp= ut=20 that is usually playable with DivX capable players or the DivX codec for=20 Windows. =2D-=20 Michael Nottebrock \ KDE on FreeBSD \ ,ww =20 \ --- \ ,wWWCybaWW_)=20 \ http://freebsd.kde.org \ `WSheepW' free \ II II node --Boundary-02=_GAw7+38hdGkyDWZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+7wAGXhc68WspdLARAn/QAJwKK0f9lnDvjxOpJRoIEMbXwIaC9gCfSC3J W1cYNTlgHLjQnVOchUGBfCM= =NKPg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_GAw7+38hdGkyDWZ--
