My Adobe Premiere can't detect DivX 6 codec for some reason after I updated it from DivX 5.
I'm able to play my AVI files in the "Clips monitor", but when I insert a segment into a sequence, it turns all black, and nothing can be seen.
When trying to export, I see all the other codecs in the compressors in the 'Video' setting, but not the DivX 6 that I need.
Can someone tell me how to add DivX to the list of compressors?

Premiere Pro's support on non-DV formats is flakey at best. It comes as no surprise to me that MPEG4 material (your DivX 6 encoded video) does not play in the timeline, and this is normally addressed by converting to a more "editable" format outside of Premiere first.
However, as Premiere is not seeing the codec and not therefore displaying as an output option, there's a possibility that there was a problem with the installation of the codec. I assume you are selecting File > Export > Movie and then selecting the codec there?
It might be worth uninstalling and reinstalling the DivX codec.

To confirm, the following is a screenshot from Premiere Pro 1.5 following a successful install of DivX 6.1 |

I reinstalled it, and it shows in compressor list now. It's still black screen, but I will try to convert to other formats and edit it.
Thanks for the help everyone.
