"Good news, I finally got some help from Divx today in resolving our Divx 5.0 compatibility issues. With the next release we will be able to support most Divx 5.0 features. We will fully support all but Quarter Pel, GMC and B-Frames.
We will have partial support for B-Frames in that we will simply not play them, which is actually a very good option for PocketDivx as we will now be able to play much higher bitrate clips if they use B-frames since we it allows us to drop them completely unlike frames in Divx 4.x.
So basically we will be able to play back a 30fps clips at about 20fps very smoothly. Now obviously this also means that if you are making a clip for PocketDivx or DC divx it's still better to encode to the proper specs and to not use b-frames as you will be dropping frames without need, but more clips designed for the desktop will be playable.
For DC Divx this could be a valid reason to take th eperformance hit and remove the resolution limitations."

Can't wait.
