DivXNetworks is heading towards final release of the next "stable" version of their DivX MPEG-4 codec. Now they've released a third beta for the 5.0.4 version.
The new version, officially dubbed as DivX v5.0.4 Schizo beta 3 contains these changes since the beta 2:

• 1 Pass and Nth Pass undersized file should be fixed
• Certain dark sequences would produce a long period of frames using a Quantizer of 31
• Psychovisual Enhancement field sometimes displayed "Custom" instead of Light when unselected
• "Do not prompt with errors and warnings" would select itself when random characters were entered in the CLI after the "-key" option
• When "-d 3" option was entered in the CLI field, "Source interlace" became blank
• Max bitrate would not update at times
• DirectShow decoder postprocessing slider became disabled with ATI radeon 9700 Graphics card
• DirectShow decoder would "fast forward" when seeking backwards. This could cause synch issues when re-encoding DivX Files using the DivX Decoder Filter

The new version is available in this URL. Please remember that the beta version is restricted to 30 days period.
