Why can't divX encode in HD?

I'm trying to render a video in 1280 x 720 with divX but it errors out every time. If I change the resolution to like 480 x 360 it works, but I want to go higher.

I need to get decent quality and a small file size. (under 1GB per 10 minutes)
 
Just said "an error occured" Using cinipak codec by radius and it works ok now. Just not sure if youtube takes that format...
 
What is the resolution of your source material? You can't make it more than it starts with. Unless the source is HD, forget it.
 
Really? Why would it matter, doesn't the video editing program just tell it to render whatever it came up with pixel by pixel? why would the source matter? Obviously if I use a small image/movie and resize it I'll lose quality, but I can't see why divX would even know the original source size.

In the case of this video I'm just using pngs that are 1280 x 720 as it's not an actual movie, more or less of a fancy slide show with some effects.
 
It really is very simple. You cannot create more pixels than there are in the source image. DivX doesn't have to kn ow anything. What is, is.
