According to specification my standalone DVD + DivX player Samsung DVD-V6500 does support:

Supported CODEC formats: DivX3, DivX4, DivX5 (GMC 1WP)
Supported file formats: *.avi, *.mpeg
Supported audio formats: AC3, MP3, WMA
Supported caption formats: * .SMI, * .SRT, * .SUB

But it does not reproduce DivX created with mencoder when video codec is lavc (mencoder -ovc lavc). With xvid encoding everything is fine. According to mencoder documentation lavc encoding actually produce DivX coded movies.

:KS What is the problem with compatibility of this lavc?

:KS What this "GMC 1WP" in specification for DivX5 stands for?

:KS Why xvid encoding is many times slower than lavc encoding?

:KS What is lavc comparing to ffmpeg?
