Rosiles,
    The video codec itself is pure MPEG-4.  However, the standard .divx file
format is really AVI with typically MP3 audio.  DivX 5.0.2 could render a
video only .mp4, but this was removed from 5.0.3 for some compatibility
reason.  I'm not sure what the playback status of it, but last I checked The
Playa didn't do ISO .mp4 with audio.
