divx 5.03 has been released

[RayEarth]

List of what is said to be fixed:
Fixed a bunch of little cosmetic bugs in the DirectShow decoder properties page.
Fixed a bug where the last P frame before an I frame was not displayed when Smooth Playback was selected.
Fixed a practically unnoticeable YUV->RGB16 color conversion rounding bug.
Fixed a bug that was the cause of some of VirtualDub's "Cannot Start Video Compression" errors.
Fixed a few issues with DivX 3.11 compatibility.
Modified the decoder to deal with a bug in the old OpenDivX encoder that set the scalability bit incorrectly in certain cases. The DivX decoder can now detect this problem and play the content properly.
Fixed a problem where some rounding operations were not done toward zero, as is required by section 7.4 of the spec. This fixed an intra case in MPEG-2 inverse quantization.
Fixed a bug where some frames would be corrupted by an out-of-range error.
Fixed several rounding issues related to MMX/SSE/SSE2 optimizations.
Fixed an MMX bug in RGB32 color conversion.

So will this update produce any noticeable differences?

yeah, i was wondering about that as well... since i use the codec mostly for compressing my rendered animations i was curious about any improvements in the new version.... hmm ,guess i'll wait for more posts

Yeah, the ATI and DivXNetworks collaboration was happy news but I donut see any new decoder options -except that Disable Logo thing, what's that about?

When you start a movie, it displays a "DivX" logo in the bottom right corner for a few seconds, then disappears. That disables it...

Ah, so. As soon as I saw the option under Quality Settings to Disable Logo I checked the box and thought to meself, "why the heck would I ever want a logo?" Now that I know what it does I realize I made the right choice. It is also comforting to know that despite adding something so stupid they at least do admit that it is detrimental to quality.

I went to www.doom9.net and went in to the forums there and they suggest there should be a performance increase...In playback mostly I believe and not in encoding...
