DivX Mutator 1.0
================

by Spooky, copyright 2000.

This program allows you to patch AVI files made with either DivX or MPEG4 codecs
from Microsoft. It supports AVI files in DivX Low Motion, DivX Fast Motion and MPEG4 version 1, 2, 3.

What's the interest of such a program ? Whereas DIVX2MPEG4 program only patches a part of the header
(the one used by the Windows Media Player to play the AVI video using the appropriate codec), DivX 
Mutator will patch the 2 parts of the header. So it will make it technically possible to merge several DivX
files either in Low or Fast Motion. 

Also, you will be able to play your DivX files using the MPEG4 Codec from Microsoft after patching
them (you will have better results using the version 3, it's the appropriate version to play DivX files).

What's not possible with this program ? You sould not patch an AVI MPEG 4 Version 1 movie to make it
a MPEG 4 version 2, 3 or DIV X Low Motion or Fast Motion because 9 times out of 10, the file will be 
unreadable. Also you should not path an AVI DIV X, MPEG 4 Version 2 or 3 movie to make it a MPEG 4
version 1 or you may encounter the same problems to play it.

So to solve this kind of problem, it is highly recommanded to patch the AVI to its original format
and the it will run perfectly :)
