So what´s new in DivX 4.0 Beta 2? Well, it´s completely re-written to improve performance and visual quality. The code base is different from all earlier versions, including the open-source OpenDivX codec.
Bugs Fixed in DivX 4.0 Beta 2
- DivX DirectShow filter was not working on Windows NT 4.0
- Encoding was broken at very high bitrates. You would receive a scrambled picture if you tried to encode either in quality-based VBR at quality level >=95% or in two-pass VBR at bitrates roughly higher than 1500-2000 kbps
- Decoder was crashing in some cases on Pentium II/Celeron machines (a few SSE instructions were accidentally put into MMX YUV->RGB conversion routines)
- Decoder was crashing with postprocessing level 6 or 7 and 16*N
- Fixed one obscure DivX 3.x decoder incompatibility issue
- DivX decoder filter was crashing when used by BSPlayer
- There was a parameter in encoder settings called "crispness" in configuration dialog and "frame dropping" in help file. It caused a lot of confusion
- The help file section on postprocessing contained two similar paragraphs, written slightly differently
- The Codec´s "About" dialog box showed an unreadable character after the word "DivX." On machines with Russian installed, it is a "
" sign, but many machines don´t have Russian fonts 
- Added brightness, contrast and saturation sliders
-Encoder now stores its settings in the registry
