Re: [OpenDivX] Linux and such

["Thomas Hargrove" <ciagon@yourmom.dhs.org>]

We could always just setup a "unofficial" OpenDivx for Linux web site.  I
would love to have an alternative place where I could get up to date
libraries for encore and decore, and it would also be nice to have simple
example code.

If anyone else is interested, I will setup a web space and maybe a mailing
list for this.

be a good temporary solution for the core?
