How to specify to use Divx 6 in mplayer / KDE ?

Hi people.

I have just installed Divx 6 from the divx site - http://labs.divx.com/DivXLinuxCodec (..tux we still love you ...)

However how can I tell what codec mplayer is using to playback the divx files?

I.e - in gentoo (with my USE flags) it automatically installs win32codecs (which includes Divx 4) when installing mplayer

Is there any way to get mplayer (and KDE in general) to automatically use DIVX6 instead of Divx4 (of ffmpeg) to run divx films?

Any advice is welcomed.

Cheers

The default libraries are symlinked to the most recent version emerged, if I am correct.

Have a look at
ls /usr/lib/libdivx* -al

You can try recreating the symlinks, but point them to your newly installed drivers.
