To my knowledge, there is no port in the ports collection that allows you t=

encode with the DivX codec (as provided by divx.com). The reason for this i=
s=20
mostly that the DivX codec is only available as Linux binary (stay AWAY fro=

multimedia/libdivxdecore* and multimedia/libdivxencore - they are incredibl=

outdated and shouldn't be used for anything by anyone).
However, multimedia/transcode (and the transcode-frontend multimedia/dvdrip=

mencoder (multimedia/mplayer) and possibly others can use XviD=20
(multimedia/xvid, a free mpeg4 codec that's wide-spread in the Windows worl=
d=20
as well) or ffmpeg's (multimedia/ffmpeg) 'mpeg4' codec, which produces outp=
ut=20
that is usually playable with DivX capable players or the DivX codec for=20
Windows.
