Vista - Media Center x64 and divx - When will they get up and do something?

Hi everyone,
Anyone else noticed that all other codec developers have released a 64bit
codec except divx? If I try to play a divx video in WMP11x64 or MCx64, it
can't find a codec?

Anybody know of a workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Since xVid is open source maybe you can help in it's development :-)

I'm being facetious of course but this is one of the weakness' of open
source software. Until someone takes an interest in working on a particular
OS that OS will not be supported. There is no financial incentive to do so.

There is an x64 build of FFDShow that will allow you to play back most
content in x64 Media Center.
