The original DivX;-) was a Microsoft hack at the binary level, no source code. OpenDivX (encoder only not decoder) has nothing to do with MS, it is from the MoMuSys reference. As for the header tag in the bitstream, it was left off in order to integrate into the AVI format. It can easily be added if needed. I can assure you that the source code on Project Mayo is the new DivX dll code.
