11 I guess the question here is who in their right minds these days want
12 a media/video player that cannot play divx movies?

14 The other question is also: does anything out there really use
15 media-libs/divx4linux as 'main' decoder of divx these days, or do they
16 all use ffmpeg? And if the answer is ffmpeg, can we add that under a
17 divx USE flag (as it supports a ton of other codecs, and I do not see
18 many working without ffmpeg, or of much use without it) ?
