What DivX decoder do you use?

I use divx 6.5 but it seems to suck in MCE 2005 ><

I heard ffdshow is some good, but what do you guys think?

ffdshow

Whatever the k-lite codec pack makes me use, which I think is ffdshow.

ffdshow some times and whatever VLC uses if I happen to be using VLC (which in that case I think it's the Libavcodec), actually in both cases even though one is a direct show filter they both use the Libavcodec AFAIK.

Yes they're both libavcodec but FFDShow is updated daily and often times the libavcodec is updated every week or so. Can't say that about VLC.

I thought FFDShow is dead... where do I get the one that updates almost daily now?

Indeed, all this time I was using one of the official ones from 2002 or the 2004 alpha. Until I had a h264 HD video I wanted to test out and realized it wasn't an option in those versions.

So I got a Dec 2006 one from ffdshow tryouts

There is nightly builds there as well, as you can see.

check out xvid.. it's the open source equivalent of divx and is the library used by ffdshow to decode divx files.

Oh ho ho, FFDShow is definitely NOT dead. Check out Afterdawn or Freecodecs for all the new builds. The SourceForge project is dead but right now it's being carried out by guys on Doom9.

No, it's an option in FFDShow. The default decoder is still libavcodec and I don't see why you would decode using XviD when you can use libavcodec (which is based off of FFMpeg).
