Hello everyone,

First posting, after many google searches for my avifile questions took
me to the mailing list's archives :)
I'm using avifile-0.6.0-0.2mdk, on Mandrake 8.1. Great package, I'm just
about to dump my WINE install of VirtualDub!
But I do have a question about avirecompress and DivX 4.0... I'm trying
to resize a divx4 file, but as soon as it opens, avirecompress dies with
a segfault:

>Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load /usr/lib/win32/DDRAW.DLL,
/usr/local/lib/win32/DDRAW.DLL
>Using DirectShow codec: divxdec.ax
>Decoder is capable of YUV output ( flags 0x1f )
>Win32 DivX 4.0 DirectShow video decoder created
>Segmentation fault

Now, I read Zdenek Kabelac once replied to an indentical error:

>You are using DivX4 dll (you might preferer linux native code - but
>the latest Win32 DivX4.12 is faster and there is not yet
>equvalent of this code for linux (Euegene - is there a reason - e.g.

In my case it doesn't matter whether DDRAW.DLL is there or not... still
the same message :(
I've got divx4linux installed and working though (mencoder does a pretty
good job with divx4 files)

I would like to use libdecore, but how exactly? I cannot seem to
rearrange the order of codecs in the avirecompress dialog?
Should I recompile? Does anyone else have problems recompiling with gcc
3.0.2?

thanks for any help!

Michael
