Hi there, My second Pc is p1-166mhz non mmx. Before i compressed to divx 3 with no problems. When tryed to compress with divx 4/5/xvid, Dub crashes at the beginning. In dub, options->preferences->cpu first button is selected (default 486 and higher) But it doesn't help. Dub crashes Anyway.
Is There any way to use Vdub with divx4/5 on non-mmx cpu?

AFAIK DivX 5.0.2 requires a Pentium II or better, and possibly the same is true of the other MPEG-4 codecs you mentioned. Even Huffyuv requires MMX.

Maybe the codec requires mmx, as you said, so Vdub can do notheing.
But not pII. I useed p1- 166 with mmx overclocked to 250 mhz.
With combination of BSplayer And FFdshow, i can watch almost any movie on such cpu, even with some postprocessing, maybe except some huge resolution, so cpu cannot keep up , like 720x576. I use the 166 non mmx for encoding, cos it always turned on, but i begin thinking by myself, that without mmx, divx4/5 will not work, and it's not Dub issue.
Thanks for reply

I was able to slowly encode a Huffyuv avi to DivX 5 on a P1-166 non-MMX. But not on a 486.
