DivX has just released a newer version of their codec. DivX 6.8.2 introduced two major improvements over older versions – multithreaded decoding and support for custom quantization matrices.

According to the website these are the new fixes made to the codec:

• When videos that have non-square aspect ratios are moved across dual monitors the aspect ratio is now correctly preserved.
• It is now possible to play DivX 3.11 videos when "Use advanced hardware overlay" is enabled in the decoder configuration utility.
• Custom quantization matrices containing the ASCII end-of-file character are now loaded correctly.
• The "Browse Matrices" button in the encoder UI is now available consistently when the quantization type is set to "MPEG-2 Custom".
• The codec should no longer output licensing messages to the console.
