    prevent divx5 from playing back divx3 content!

    The following is an original posting by TSUNAMI and it is meant fyi only!

    The file that is included has already been patched, so all you'll have to do is exchanging this file with your version!


    Das nachfolgende Posting von Tsunami ist nur als Information gedacht.

    Da die vorliegende Datei bereits gepatched ist, muss sie lediglich gegen Eure Jetzige ausgetauscht werden.

    Thanx to Tsunami for the file!

    You needn't change the registry, just change the byte in the decompressor
    itself.

    DivX 3.x Decompressor-Priority-Patch

    FileName : divx_c32.ax
    FileSize : 240.400 Bytes
    FileVersion : 4.1.0.3917

    0. If you are running Win9x then go to Windows\System
    If you are running Win2k/XP then go to Windows\system32

    1. deregister the current decompressor :
    regsvr32 /u divx_c32.ax

    2. change one byte in the file with an hex-editor
    Offset 0xc4a (dezimal 3146)
    change 80 to 90

    3. register the patched decompressor :
    regsvr32 /s divx_c32.ax

    thats all


    Maybe you have another version of the decompressor,
    then you must search for 'div3' (lowercase, without '),
    and substract 174 (dezimal) of the offset where the strin 'div3' was found..

    In my version the offset of 'div3' is 0xcf8 (3320 dezimal).
    3320 minus 174 is 3146 (dezimal) converted to hex : 0xc4a

    'div3' is found 6 times, you must use the first one (lowest offset).

    If you aren't firm in using an hex-editor,
    I can make a patch or upload the patched version of the decompressor (look
    at geil.webpark.cz).
    I also will integrate that patched decompressor in my filter-pack.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    tsunami sent me a patched version of the divx311 codec today, which you can download here:

    What a mess!

    What is the reason to do such thing?

            absolutely true

            i removed the file since tsunamis latest filterpack does not require any such patch.
