Hi

That's actually not true. The movie files have been hacked to supply a 
false codec id (so the game would pull in a proper decoding backend) but 
it's actually fully DivX 5.0 compatible.

Warcraft had suplied a binary decoding-only library crafted by the
people at DivX.com just for the purpose of the game.
