there is no way until a codec is released. And that might never happen.. :/
But maybe someone out there is working on one right now, I hope so.

Just curious, can you play divx's without getting video and sound unsynked? I cant. I have heard that it is a problem with the media kit in BeOS and not with the codec itself. Do someone here know anything about this? Jefro maybe?

I guess I have assumed a name of someone who might
know something. I am not he. I have never been
accused of knowing anything. In fact, usually the
opposite.

Did you people try the DivX trick using the Windows
DLL files (what divX versions does that support
BTW?)

Or did you try the open source codec that works
with hardware overlay on BeOS? (I use this on
Nvidia GeForce: nice low CPU load :-) I suppose
this one (BeBits: Carlos Hasan posted it some time
ago) will work upto V4?
see:
http://www.bebits.com/app/2575

I can imagine that if someone was to create this
codec from the current sources of that project that
it would support V5 also?

One more thing that sounds really promising (!):
It looks like VLC will support this FFMPEG codec
also, if you checkout the changelog on the VLC
site, you will notice different remarks about
this..

I am very curious about the next VLC version that
comes out!

I think a new app on bebits has limited support of Divx5
