B4 has a reproducible error (that I believe is also present in B3). If you set up a Watched Folder to use a Custom Profile, the Doctor will crash every time you try to open Preferences. After much trial and error, I've found a kludgy workaround. The Watched Folder parameters are saved as *.wat files in the C:\Documents and Settings\USER%\Application Data\Dr. DivX 2.0 OSS folder. Before trying to open Preferences, temporarily move these files out of that folder. Move them back when you're done editing Preferences. Of course this means that you won't be able to edit them, once established, using the DrDivX interface. The format doesn't appear too complicated and the .wat files can be edited with a text editor. Note that WatchFolderProfileType="7" is for custom profiles while "6" is used for "Constrain to" settings. "1" is Fastest and "5" is Insane.

There is another bug in Preferences that will also crash the Doctor. On the Audio-Video Options tab, if you set a Custom Profile as the default output option, it will also crash the Doctor when you open Preferences.

Sample .wat file using a Custom Profile:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<obj>
<watchfolder version="1" readable="1">
<property WatchFolderCertification="4" />
<property WatchFolderInputFolderPath="V:\DivXWatch\HighHT" />
<property WatchFolderIsActive="true" />
<property WatchFolderName="HighHT" />
<property WatchFolderOutputFileSize="0" />
<property WatchFolderOutputFolderPath="V:\Compressed" />
<property WatchFolderProfileName="HighHT" />
<property WatchFolderProfileType="7" />
</watchfolder>
</obj>
