	You must make sure you are aiming xine at the right file. This is
an input layer problem and the most common cause is not specifying the
correct filename (I often make the mistake). Be wary of filenames that
contain spaces or other strange characters which must be escaped with a
'\' character. Tab filename completion is your friend.

	The latest xine should be able to play any DivX variant out of the
box without any extra libraries that are distributed separately.

	Hope this helps...
