Just out of curiosity, why do you want to convert to a different
version of DivX? You will lose some quality doing so, and the DivX 5
codec 'is' backwards compatible I believe. You 'could' use an editor and
change the FourCC value, even though it wouldn't actually change the
file, it'd then force DivX 5 codec to playback the video. I've changed
XviD to DivX using this method, because it would 'lag' badly on my PC,
(this was a long time ago, and 3 systems back). The program is called
avic.exe, it's very tiny, you could probably test it on a backup/extra
copy of one of your videos. It might save you 'alot' of time...
